Corrupted file
Hi, I've been working for hours on this arrangement just to realise it's been completely corrupted! All the different parts are out of time, it's all meant to be in 12/8 but apparently it doesn't want to do that! There are six pages worth of corruption, I just don't know how to fix it:( Please help!!

The first thing I noticed was that there is no time signature in the piece. I'm guessing you imported it and that's how the file ended up in its current state. I inserted the 12/8 time signature in the first measure and ended up with only measure 45 being corrupted. I added a measure to the end of the score (ctrl-B), inserted 12/8 into measure 45, then immediately deleted the 12/8. Measure 45 was truncated as it should be and all the measures are now proper. Measure 46 has a couple of notes and a bunch of rests, but there are no errors.
I would be curious if I'm correct about the score being imported or how the score came to have no time signature.

No traces of it being imported, but it had been created yesterday with MuseScore 2.0.2, maybe that introduced the problem somehow. @Nicole: you'd better upgrade to MuseScore 2.0.3 now (and to 2.1 in a couple weeks)

It sounds like this: #89401: Deletion of the first measure removes the time signature in parts
@Nicole Brocksom
Please check, but seems good now: Stars2.mscz

Thank you so much! I hadn't imported it, so no clue how it got to corrupted. Perhaps the old version of Musescore introduced a bug somehow? Thanks again!

So why didn't is have a (12/8) time signature? Did you delete it (Select timesig, Del) at some point? Did you for some reason deleted the entire 1st measure (select measure, Ctrl+Del) at some point?

I got the original melody of an import and then started a new composition on a separate tab with the time signature and everything put in. It was fine while I was doing it, do you think the fact that I copied and pasted the melody off an import is the reason why it got so corrupted? I don't think I deleted the 1st measure or the time sig at any point and didn't import this document itself.

You must have somehow accidentally deleted the time signature after the notes were entered into the score, otherwise the score would have been laid out differently. I can tell you didn't simply select all and enter the score into a "default" score (one with 4/4 time signature that is default in new score) because the 12/8 time signature was there when you pasted or the notes would have been divided differently (some dotted 1/2 notes would have changed to 1/2 note 1/4 note tied...). I believe some corruption occurred; because if you deleted the 12/8 time signature, the notes would have been regrouped for 4/4 like described above. I tried to reproduce the state the score was in when you uploaded it, but I can't. It is possible that pasting from the original had an effect on the score because the corrupted score had triplets it it, but when I entered the 12/8 time signature they were all changed to 8th notes. I know this because I accidentally tried to enter a 6/8 time signature and got a "Tuplets can't cross a barline" error that no longer shows up.
I saved my corrected file over your corrupted file, so I can't try anything else because your original file is no longer in your first post.
