Copy/Paste problems causing crash
I have taken a copy of a score with the objective of adding a staff made up of sections from the various instruments to provide the melody. I then want to print the staff for the instrument I play with this 'melody' staff in 'cue note' format. I am having problems in creating this staff, however, causing crashing and have not found a solution to this problem.
When I copy and paste from one instrument to the melody staff I am careful to paste (usually mid-bar) to the position where the bar has the correct note duration content to match the time signature. However, MuseScore seems to add a rest making the note content exceed the limit and causing a crash. If I recover the file and delete the errant bar from the score with the aim of recreating it, the new bar suffers the same problem with possibly the value of 9 quavers in a 4/4 bar. The crash may not happen immediately but may happen after I have done 3 or 4 joins and the crash report identifies the 3 or 4 join bars as having too many notes. Screenshot attached.
I tried a different tack i.e. to leave the melody bars in their original staff and deleting the contents of all other bars. This, I thought, would give a less complex canvas to create the melody bar later. I didn't get that far, however, as the same problem reared its head again causing a crash. I gave up.

could you clarify, exactly which measure & beat number range (start & stop) are you copying from, and where are you pasting to?

Yup, the second score says measure 16 has too many notes , and crashes MS when you ignore it.

This issue I presume: #290546: Copy-paste a part with mm rests on another part/mm rests leads to corruption/crash
Your second score (1st and Bass) annonces a corruption when loading, but the more serious problem is in part "Acc1" (with a lot of empty measures - visible by disabling mm rests)
And so, as already noticed, save this part, and you obtain a crash when restarting: Issue 1-Acc_1.mscz
The immediate solution is: delete parts and re-create them (of course fix too corruption measure 16 in main score) and the problem must disappear. See this repaired second score: Dam Busters 1st and Bass.mscz
And by waiting a global fix: avoid to copy-paste instrument part containing mm rests on another instrument part containing mm rests too. Disable first the mm rests in the "copied" part.

Thank you for that. It took me a while in my ignorance to work out what 'mm' stood for but now it is mission accomplished. Thanks again.

I am now sorted but if you still want the information, all the music in the attached file for parts Obbligato, Acc 2 and Acc 3 were to be transferred to Acc 1.
