Unable to save a tuning #12

I have tried in Musescore2.1 and the latest Musescore3 (downloading the corresponding plugin). I enable the tuning plug in, select an area in my piece, open the tuning screen, and change the settings I want. I then select save and give a file name. When I go to the specified directory, there is no file there, and my file is not displayed when I select load from the Tuning popup. I have tried running as both administrator and not administrator and have tried placing the file in my local storage as well as under the Musescore3\plugins directory.

Can you offer any suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

I'll take a look

I'm sorry, it works for me, but I'm on a Mac.
Some questions:

  1. What OS are you running?
  2. Do you get the option to create a directory, and if so does that work?

Here's something else to try. This is a tuning I created, save it somewhere you have access to then see if you can at least load it using the plugin (I added the .txt extension just so github would allow me to upload it here, it's not necessary for the plugin to work.)

5-tet.txt

Another thing, could you provide a screenshot of the save dialog?
The dialog after you hit save from the main plugin window.

I've pushed a new version with some improvements (for 3.x only). First there's a "Tweak" value that gets added to each offset, so allowing arbitrary re-tuning of a temperament, secondly I figured out how to make the save and load dialogs open at the Plugins directory rather than the filesystem root, which might help you if the issue was with file permissions. The version is only on github for now, I haven't had time to put it on musescore.org yet.

Plugin-save-screen.docx

I am running Windows 10. Here is a screenshot of my options when I select "save." I pick a location and save -- but no file is actually created.

I can save your 5-tet.txt file and musescore can see it when I open the tuning window. However, I'm not sure it actually gets loaded, since I don't see the setting change in that screen.

I may be just missing a step somewhere.

Sorry I've not been available recently, that screenshot looks like a strange place to end up, I'm not very familiar with Windows but I believe Program Files is where the applications themselves are stored. I have a MuseScore3 directory inside my documents folder and it doesn't have a bin folder inside it. It has Audio, Extensions, Images, Plugins, Scores, SoundFonts, Styles and Templates folders. bin is usually reserved for executable command files.
Secondly something explicit to check: start the plugin and click its "Load" option, browse to the 5-tet.txt file and accept it. You should see the G# in the "Final Offsets" change to 20 (among other changes there.)
