Not saving triplet brackets
I made a copy of file and posted online. The first measure was saved but the rest , wh. continues like the first measure, had brackets removed by the program save. This is the third time that this has happened. Is this a program deficiency or is there something that I could do to prevent this from happening again?

The only time I've seen something like happen, it was a case where I had used copy and paste of a partial measure involving triplets, and this was but one of the many side effects of the corruption that was caused. So I avoid doing copy and paste of partial measures that include triplets. There definitely known bugs in that area. But if you have a specific way to reproduce the problem, I'm sure that would help the developers in tracking it down.

Yes, this happens when copy/pasting partial measures or even copying from first note in a grouping to last. But, I'm copying/pasting entire measures. This usually works, but for some unknown reason, it's now unreliable. That's why I posted this file. Most of my bug issues in general have been caused from using brackets in one way or another.. Hopefully, 2.0 will nail this one down. I would like to be able to depend on Musecsore and not go back to Finale.
I'm also having lots of problems with triplets. Sometimes, I will save a file and triplets look normal. Then when I work on it later, at an unknown point (I'm never physically seen the triplet changing) the triplet bracket will disappear, rendering weird-sounding normal quarter notes which makes the measure have 1 more beat than it's supposed to. Sometimes I get weird barlines too, where the "extra" beat in the triplet is put in its own bar, but is played simultaneously as the bar with the buggy triplets.

Yes, I'm still getting the same recurring issue, exactly. Yesterday, I opened a file, that was cool when I had closed it, only to find that some groupings were un-bracketed leaving quarter notes drifting into the next measure. The only way I found to deal with this is to first insert two fresh measures next to the one that's corrupted. Second, delete all bracketed parts in that measure. Third, fully delete that measure and the next one with the weird amount of rests. Lastly, rewrite the measures. Yes, this can be cumbersome. The other day, I spent my first hour just makings corrections. Once the musescore staff figures out how to solve this bug, then I'll be fully committed to staying with this program. I did just finish writing a 23 minute string quartet. I think, that over all, this program it's great. The writers are truly talented. They'll solve it.

We are all part of the staff ;) If you find a way to reproduce this bug and can give exact steps, it will make it easier for the devs to fix this issue. If you have some time to give to the community, try to make a score with tuplet, record your steps, save it, close it and see if the problem is there. If yes, report your steps!

Wish I could. This problem happens on the opening of the program. It is a random occurrence. Sometimes the measures will hold for a few days of use and then the measures will come out w/out brackets. I tried to figure out what I'm doing differently, but at this point, there's uniformity in my approach.

It's pretty much random for me as well. I also found the following bugs, all involving triplets, but I can't seem to reproduce them. I just suddenly see weird measures randomly.

As a composer, the only way I fix it is usually by inserting measures, copying/retyping the corrupt measures, and deleting the bad ones. Then a few days later, they sometimes pop up somewhere else in the piece...
