Removing measure changes notes
I'm just not getting this. I have added a file with an example. In measure 9 the notes have these "no longer sharp/flat"-symbol. They should not be there, but if I remove them the notes sounds wrong. However, if I remove the empty measure 3, they disappear??
This makes absolutely no sense to me. Why does the empty measure 3 have an effect on how the notes in measure 9 looks?
I noticed this in a long sheet music I have entered in, and unfortunately I skipped the first 7 measures because the parts I was interested in didn't have anything there. So I figured I'd add them in later. However when I do this, it for some strange reason alters how notes appear in various unrelated places. Very confusing and slightly scary, since I spent several hours punching this thing in. Could anyone enlighten me on what's going on here? Bit worried... :(

Is it possible that you inserted bars at the beginning of the score when the key change was already in place?

I've been bitten by this, which is why I reported it. I ended up simply starting a new score and copy/pasting as I found the corruption was too embedded to fix with simply deleting measures. Maybe yours is still OK if deleting one measure fixes it. Try it.
Also, insert from anywhere but measure 1.

I've considered doing that, but am a bit hesitant because when I copy and paste notes in MuseScore, it doesn't seem to bring with it signatures, repeats and such... which means I would have to first create a new score, then add in all the signatures in the correct places, and then copy paste the notes in. But I suppose that's why it would fix this I suppose...
Especially the time signatures is a bit of a pain, since it will split notes that are too long to fit and such and changing the time signature back won't "merge" them again.

Then you should be able to delete measure 3 and continue working, but I won't guarantee that!

Not that simple as there are a total of about 185 measures in this one, and it seems removing the 6 measures I added at the beginning won't revert the weird notes... But it seems I have found sort of a way to mend it. I saved a MusicXML copy and opened that instead. Now the messed up Key signatures seems to have disappeared somehow, and I can add the correct ones back in (at least it looks like it's working :p)

Yes, I've also used XML to fix some other weirdness as well. (Is it good or bad that we can (ab)use XML export/import this way? At least is sometimes works.)
