The Problem is simple: While scoring a part for a Glockenspiel, I accidentally moved a high c6 (sounding c8) up a semitone using the arrow up- key, which caused MuseScore to crash.

After a Little bit of testing it turned out that notating anything above sounding c8 or below sounding a0 (either directly notating it with a mouse click or by moving a lower note up/higher note down) for any instrument will cause a crash.
A possible solution for that could be to make notes out of that range only appear visually on the staff without making a sound when placed or played, since I think the Problem might be that MIDI does not include such high or low notes, but I am not an expert in that kind of Technology, so I might be wrong with that. Although there might not be any real use of notes that low or that high, it is certainly annoying when one accidentally moves a note too far out. Also I am not sure whether this bug already existed in earlier versions, as i discovered it in the latest fully released version.
I have included a file where you can try it out yourself, just try to move the bottom note down or the upper note up and MuseScore should crash.
