Musesore crashes every time I try and edit a bar in this particul score
I have open a midi file in Musescore in order to edit and produce emphasised midi files for our singing group to practice with. This particular one is from Vivaldi's Gloria and specifically Domine FIli Unigente. Whenever I edit bar 90 and try and change the crotchet into a dotted minim Musescore stops working. It was doing it for each of the parts (I started editing the soprano line first). Currently it will only happen with the tenor and bass lines because for the soprano and alto ones I deleted the notes and re-entered them, but since it was doing it consistently I thought I ought to report it.
I have attached the file with the problem in it. I would point out that i haven't finished editing it and it is not correct (i.e it doesn't sound right) but of course that is not what I am contacting you about :-)
regards
Norman

MIDI support in 1.x is limited. It would appear that the score from 90 onward is corrupt as selecting 90 also selects all measures to the end. I would delete measure 90, append some new ones, and re-enter the notes manually.

Thanks for the reply - deleting the bar was what I had done to get around the problem.
Even if the bar is corrupt, it shouldn't cause the software to crash, and it was the software crashing that concerned me more than having to work around the problem in bar 90.
I appear to have another issue with this particular score as when I play it, it sounds like there is more happening than there should be i.e. I think I can hear more notes than are actually visible on the screen. I need to investigate this further though.
thanks for you help - and thanks to the developers for some great software, I find Musescore invaluable.

You can try whether to crashes in a current nighly build. If it does, this should get reported fixed, but 1.x won't received further fixes.

Will try the "Nightly build" this evening.
Hi Norman,
Can you attach the MIDI file which caused the problem so we can examine it for peculiarities.

Hi
Here is the midi file that I loaded into Musescore 1.3. I had to do some editing to get it from this stage to the stage that the previous attachment was in. This included moving sections as the score seemed to be one beat out from my copy and so the contents of bars didn't match up.
Just to give you the full picture, I have an arrangement supplied by a friend who created it using an old version of Sibelius (which doesn't export anything that can be imported to Musescore) so I was using the midi file to be able to get the notes into Musescore so that i can produce emphasised midi files for each of the four voices (S, A, T & B)
cheers
Norman

Isn't the dolet plugin available for his Sibelius? That would allow MusicXML Export.

Just looked at the MIDI file - it has a 4/4 time signature right at the beginning and then changes to 3/4 on the second bar.
This is confusing MuseScore's MIDI import.
Will attempt to correct the MIDI file and see how it imports then.

OK here is the tweaked MIDI file. Unfortunately importing into 1.3 still corrupts the score at bar 90.
The nightly build of 2.0 imports it correctly, however.
Can I stress that it is very important to check MIDI files in a sequencer before you import them into MuseScore - it can spare you all sorts of grief!

Hi
Thanks for this - I am at work at the moment but will try this out later. I did spot that the time signature change but since it was in the "introduction" and not the vocals, I ended to ignore it.
The midi file came from a website offering practice files (mistakenly it now appears) I had assumed it was "kosher".
Have to say I am very impressed with the level of support (and speed of response) that this software has - no wonder it is so good!!
