Change Time signature and note values
I have a pdf of a song with a 2/4 time signature.
After running the pdf import tool, I got a few errors which I hope to fix manually but basically the score was imported but somehow it was interpreted as 4/4 and all the note values doubled so eight notes are now quarter notes, quarter notes half notes, etc.
How can convert the score back to 2/4 while making all the note values also half?
Score attached.
Thanks

See the Handbook section about Copy and paste:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/copy-and-paste
Look for the paragraph headed "Paste half/double duration", which should help you.

Musescore crashes every time I try to paste.
I cut everything, change the time signature in the empty sheet and when I paste it crashes ....
I tried also to paste half without changing time signature first but it also crashes. :(

When I opened your score a box came up saying that bar 96, stave 7 was corrupted, 472/324 rather than 4/4. If you go to that bar and fix it (I copied and pasted from bar 98), and save again, then pasting half note values into a new score works fine.
Such corruptions are quite common in PDF imports.
