Breath mark bug 0.9.5
Just started using MuseScore, very impressed!
I'm using Mac OS X Leopard and the 0.9.5 prerelease. I think I found a bug and this is the only place I could think to report it. Placing breath marks in a score seems to kill the file. I was able to restore from the hidden (dot) backup file, but no matter what, when I try to open it again, MuseScore crashes. I even created a test file with all the default settings, and inserted nothing but a piano score of 12 measures, an "E" above middle C, and a single breath mark. It doesn't crash without the breath mark, but as soon as I save with a breath mark and close then reopen the file, MuseScore crashes. Again, I'm able to restore from the hidden backup file and open it without crashing - and without the breath mark.
Obviously, this is a prerelease, so there are probably bugs, I'm not complaining. I just want to find out why this is happening. Hopefully it's just something weird with my system, not the program itself. I attached the files that I used to test this. If anybody has a potential solution, shout it out!
Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed bug report (yes it's a bug ;)).
I commited a fix in r1952.
As a "workaround", I think it would work if you have a note after the breath.

Thanks for the quick update. Unfortunately, adding a note after the breath mark doesn't seem to help, but I am eagerly awaiting the next release!

I tested this in a self-built version of r.1953. The "testWithBreathMark.mscz" opens without a crash, and I'm not able to reproduce a crash regardless of whether the breath mark is followed by a note or rest.

I'm glad to hear that! Is there anything specific to know about building it on OS X, or should it be pretty much the same as any other platforms? I'm thinking about checking out the latest build.
