Crashing when trying to hit enter on Time Signature

• Aug 13, 2024 - 10:26

For some reason, Musescore 4 may crash when you accidentally hit enter when you put in a time signature.
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, it's just a thing many people may have fallen victim to.
Hitting enter would be a pretty automatic response if you really know what a computer usually does.
It's just baked into some people.
This can also cause burns in files, even data loss.

The tempo marking can easily be overlooked in development, so it's not in clear sight, but still understandable in software development.
- ( yes: i've been there before )

Anyway this does bite into my workflow.

Just making this thing known:

Your description is too vague.
1. How do you add the Time signature? By dragging and dropping it into the measure, or after selecting the measure (or rest) and single-clicking on the symbol in the palette?
2. Now that you've done that, when exactly do you press Enter? I can't reproduce a crash (version 4.3.2, Windows10)
Because even selecting the new time signature and pressing Enter adds a system break (as expected).

So it's quite possible that this is a problem related to a particular file. In that case, please attach it for further investigation.
NB: to put it bluntly, attaching a picture showing a file crashing is of no help in understanding the problem.
