Disappearing Stems.

• Dec 8, 2011 - 17:43

In short, there are issues with the stems of the note heads. When I save, close and reopen, the stems are gone.
I did find that in Windows ctrl a, del, then ctrl z, the stems reappears. (?) It's just kind of weird.
I attached the PDF generated by MuseScore and all of the stems show up, but in the actual program, they disappear.

Thanx.
AMR.

At what point during the creation of the score did the stems disappear? Or was it by chance imported from a MusicXML file created by another program? Is it deliberate that the lyrics are all in different fonts too, and that there are other numeric markings (fingerings?) in strange places?

Yes, it was imported but I'm not certain from which program. I'll have to ask the person who sent me the original xml file.

I have the same problem. I scanned music using SharpEye and exported the music into XML. Upon opening the file with MuseScore, it was apparant the XML-file was somehow corrupted (as selecting one single bar with MuseScore sometimes resulted in numerous bars being selected, as MuseScore crashed numerous times while editing the file, etc.). Therefor I manually copied and pasted all the bars into a new, clean, file. Apparently, doing so I have copied one or more corrupted bars, because near the end of the file all shorter notes don't have stems anymore.

The odd thing is: saving the file in other file formats does not make any diffence. Apparantly, MuseScore is programmed to save corrupted information, regardles of the file format it is required to use.

I wonder: why would MuseScore save correpted information at all? Wouldn't it make for more sense to repair corrupted information and show the user a dialog warning that data has been repaired (and therefor maybe altered)?

As I noted above, posting the actual MusicXML would be more useful, I think. perhaps in a new thread with a title that makes clear this is a MusicXML import issue.

As for why MuseScore doesn't automatically detect and clean up corruptions, that's a good question, worthy of a separate discussion still!
