I downloaded Explode/Implode and it appears in my Plugins menu. However, every time I've tried to use it MuseScore crashes. I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit - is there an issue with that perhaps?


Comments

Which one is crashing - Explode or Implode? What version of MuseScore? I developed it for 1.1. My recollection is that it does work on 1.0, but not in all cases. I don't think I knew of any crashes, though - just places where if you didn't select a meaningful region first, it would produce nonsense results. Could you post a sample score and specific instructions to reproduce?

The problem was caused by me. I inadvertently included a section of single notes - when I defined a region that included only chords it worked fine.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Even if you managed what you wanted, could you tell us the steps to reproduce the crash?

I'll try:
1) Copied track of 3 note chords to 3 adjacent blank tracks. That worked,
2) Selected all notes in these 3 tracks. I failed to notice that the very last note was a single pitch, not a chord.
3) Clicked on Explode. Program crashed

This occurred twice each on 2 PCs - one running Vista 64 bit and the other Windows 7 32 bit.

When I redid the above steps but left off the final single note everything worked.

Confirmed - thanks for the report! I couldn't find a way in the plugin architecture to get MuseScore to do what I would really have wanted - to delete the note completely from all but the first voice - but I've at least eliminated the crash. If there are notes it can't deal with, it now leaves them alone. Feel free to re-download and install the plugin.
