Cannot open file

• Mar 22, 2021 - 20:42

Hi
I am having issues with opening the attached file.

Using version 3.6.2.548021803 (on win 10 machine), musescore crashes

Using version 3.5.0.13199 (on win 10 machine), the attached error message is received.

Any thoughts or workarounds? I have lots of files created the same time and I need a quick fix.

Ian

Yes, that score crashes in MS 3.6.2 on Windows 10 for me too.

As you have MS 3.5.0 available, what happens if you open the file and then click Ignore on the error dialog? That seems to me to be your best route out of this.

Opening it in debug build gives tons of warnings reg. Slurs and Hairpins

The score has an unbelievable huge amount of slurs, some 100,000...
And some 30,000 hairpins

I've opened it in 2.3.2, switch to page view, removed all parts, (reduced size to some 700kb, so not very much), then saved as mscx.
Then I manually removed all slurs and hairpins.
Open in 3.6.2, kept old style, saved, result attached, size reduced down to 90KB!
Seems to open fine (and rather quick) in 3.6.2 now.

So now you could either continue to use MuseScore 2.3.2 on your backup (which is reacting very slow on that score), or use my last 3.6.2 version of it and check and re-add hairpins (and (de-)crescendo lines) as needed.

You may want to regenerate the parts too.

The real mess with multiple hairpins is at measure 228 and to a (far!) lesser extend in some of the folowing measured bu to 236 or so

Tada!

Attached a fixed version for 2.3.2 and 3.6.2, still with parts removed (should be easy to re-generate) and also with all superfluos/duplicate/bogus hairpins removed (and in the 3.6.2 version also all superfluos/duplicate/bogus slurs, MuseScore cleaned those up automatically), but having kept the wanted ones (I hope)
Hairpin-wise the measure 229 and 234/235 have been modified, so please double check those (esp. the 2.3.2 version still has a few that don't belong there, for demo ;-))

Also attach a version fully converted to 3.6.2 and all ist's default settings, with all parts being generated.

Reg. these superfluous slurs see https://musescore.org/en/node/138061 and https://musescore.org/en/node/275514, and also #138756: Unterminated slurs multiply with every save
a fixed 2.3.2 version now attached too
