When creating another new score the 'Create new score' dialogue some fields (namely: lyricist, composer and copyright) are prefilled with data of the score previously made within the same session. Only 'title'-field is empty and really ready for a new score.
Bug appears only in the following szenario: another score has been created before (within the same session) that weren't saved yet, before creating the new one. After restart all is fine, however for the first new score only. Workaround is to manually delete/fill the fields in 'create new score' dialogue box.
Comments
This is by design, same behavior as previous releases. The idea is to make it easier for composers or people doing work for a specific project involving a single composer. It's far easier to delete the old content if it doesn't apply than to re-enter it if it does. Just press tab, delete, enter new info, tab, delete, new info, etc.
