Sam Oates' Crash of the century

• Mar 21, 2016 - 05:46

While working on my transcription of the bluecoats 2015 show, I pulled the trumpet parts out of the main score in order to work on the features and try to fix a few of the chords. It is posted here: trumpet parts bluecoats 2k15.mscz || Now, the score is currently 564 measures long, with probably 30+ instruments, so its already a little unstable (but i understand why on that part) but I decided i wanted to transfer it into sibelius 7 and work on reducing the 5 trumpet parts to 4 trumpet parts. I successfully did this in probably 2 and a half hours (from about 10:30 to 12) and i transfer it back into musescore.... everything was going fine until i tried to paste the trumpet parts back into the full score and it said that the tuplets were trying to cross a barline. So I went through every measure and checked every time change (there is ALOT) and i found that all the tuplets were in the right spot and all the time signatures matched up. So i decided to redo all of the time signatures in the trumpet score and it proceeded to crash so many times that the recovered score is now a white piece of paper with nothing on it.

I have no idea what happened or how it happened, but that is what went down this evening!
THANKS - Sam Oates

Sorry this happened. MusicXML import/export is always a littrle dangerous, probably Sibelius exported something that MuseScore didn't quite interpret correctly. Possibly even though the time signatures *appeared* to line up, some measure had a different *actual* duration from what was specified in the time signature. Seeing the MusicXML file you got from Sibelius and precise steps to reproduce the crash starting from there would be necessary to investigate further.
