Musescore 3 crashes when trying to open specific score, what to do?

• Sep 9, 2019 - 22:41

Hello dear list!

I was working on a score today, had to restart my computer at some point, and I can no longer open the score I was working on. I can open other scores, but with this one Musescore immediately crashes. I ran in terminal and get a segmentation fault.
Is there any thing I can do to salvage the days work? I did a whole bunch of things that is probably causing the problem, I'm guessing changing the staff type very often ...
Any help would be appreciated,
many thanks in advance,
best!

Thank you very much for your reply, unfortunately no luck.

I found out what seems to cause the crash though, it has to do with staff type changes and moving the offset values of one staff. For example If I want to start with one line, and then a few bars later change to five lines, then I want the line of the previous staff to align with the third line of the next staff, thus changing the offset. Musescore doesn't like this for some reason and immediately crashes when trying to open the file :S
I hope this feature will be more stable in the future, it's quite nice and I often deal with staff type changes. For now I'll just do what I've been doing previously, export to svg and do all the extra tweaking in inkscape.

It crashes for me on Windows 7, with MuseScore 3.2.3 and the latest development build

As such it seems a known issue, see #291969: Crash on load of score with staff type change on measure 1

Hi! Thanks for your reply! that works!

What I'm doing now is setting the instrument as a one line instrument from the beginning, and then when 5 lines are needed I change.

If using one line and changing to five lines, it aligns with the upper line, is there a way to change this default behavior? so that it aligns with the third line instead? (as in the attached score)

Many thanks in advance,
best!
