  1. Try to open a Symphony size score with the file name "Roberts'_1st_Symphony.mscz"
  2. Let it load for a bit
  3. Observe as MuseScore decides to spontaneously crash.
    (NOTE: May not work as promised, but I put a lot of work into the file before the constant crashes began)

You need to attach the problematic score. Use the Choose a file button below.

It always happening is the reproducibility, not the frequency. The frequency is how many times it has been reported and you are the only to report this.

Looks like it crashes on save (including the auto-save), trying to write a completely empty measure. If you view the parts and turn off multimeasure rests, you can see there are some corrupt measures at letter B in the first flute part, perhaps elsewhere as well. So mot likely this happened using an older version of MuseScore before the bug #290546: Copy-paste a part with mm rests on another part/mm rests leads to corruption/crash was fixed.

Solution is to turn off autosave (Edit / Preferences) temporarily, load the score, delete all parts then regenerate them (File / Parts), then turn autosave back on. I've attached a fixed version, this one shouldn't crash.

(leaving this open for now just in case it turns there is something else going on)
