Score is messed up after copy/paste

I was working on a project on MS 1.3 and I decided to cut&paste a few measures from voice to flute. I later added some text to the score and when I got back to the first page, I noticed that the time signature came before the clef and accidentals. The beaming was still allright though. Then I removed one instrument from the score and dragged the 6/8 time signature back again. But after that, the score got all messed up, so I just undid it. Now, when I right-click to see the time of the measure, it says 4/4, but even though the beamings are wrong, the score itself is in 6/8 time. Also, the playback kind of gets stuck at the last note of every measure. Since I've saved before I noticed this, is there any hope that I can get my proper score back? Below are attached the two described bugged examples of the score, of which the proper is quite well-known. I don't know the steps to reproduce the bug, neither do I if it was caused by the copy-paste or something else. I can not change the time signature from measure properties either.

Unfortunately, there is is little anyone can do about this just from a picture of the damage already done. And in order to actually fix the bug (the purpose of the Issue Tracker), we'd need the score itself as it existed *before* the problem occurred, and then precise step-by-step instructions to reproduce this. Even then, the issue tracker is for reporting bugs in the current *development* code - which is to say, the nightly builds. If a problem isn't reproducible in the nightly build, then it will just be closed anyhow as already fixed :-)

So until you have specific step by step instructions to reproduce a problem using a development build, it's better to ask questions and discuss issues you note on the Support forum.
