I'm working on a multitude work not from template. Once I got over two staves, I've had to cross my fingers every time I renamed a new staff - it usually crashes. Not always, though.
Seemed to happen most with my clarinets, which were added staves number 6 and 7.

In order to investigate and hopefully fix the problem, we would need a sample score and precise steps to reproduce them problem. Meanwhile, I am marking this "needs info".
Do note there was a recent bug fix involving a crash in staff properties if instrument changes are present, so you might want to try a more recent nightly build, or wait for the next official beta update.
The crash is quite random and I've also experienced it a couple of times when I edited the short name. At I remember it was on the clarinet. I wonder if the flat symbol has something to do with it?
I think I've figured it out. If you hit apply after you change names, and then Ok, it always crashes.

I've changed names successfully with no problems; did just now again. On the other hand, I've have seen crashes in staff properties. Let's keep working on figuring out the exact cause...
