1. A simple midi file converts into fairly useable notation all on one staff. Selecting split to two staffs looses most of piano base clef notes. Undo returns the missing notes. Older versions did not do this (they worked as expected). Used latest nightly build for 64 bit Linux Ubuntu.

=======================================================
2. On startup, MuseScore activates Libre Office Document (??). Last Ubuntu release does this too.

Released version 1.3 v 5702

Not sure what you mean about a LibreOffice document; there isn't one that I know of. Seems like maybe a misunderstanding; you should ask for help in the Support forum.

Regarding the MIDI issue, please give specific detailed step by step instructions to reproduce, including a copy of the MIDi file you are having problems with.

Specific instructions: (With live midi instrument attached via USB port through active midi to usb device)
1. Use midi file (recorded with pianoteq) as an input file. Set to 1/16 notes.
2. Put cursor just after time signature an left mouse click. A blue box appears over first measure.
3. Put the cursor point on the edge of the blue box (left side of box, within staff lines) and left click. The fourth item from top is "Split Staff"
4. Select split staff. The midi keyboard will raplidly execute a series of notes.
5. The split staff will appear. Many notes in the original notation base cleff are now missing.
6. Undo the action. All the missing data reappears.

I have provided three MuseScore files:
1. Before conversion
2. After conversion
3. After undo.

Regards the Libre Office (Version 3): The main menu appears and covers the musescore. It has document highlighted. I either open the document (which is blank) or close the window w/o opening it. MuesScore works as if nothing happened. I have the "Play Panel" open automatically. The sequence of appearance is MuseScore, Play Panel, Libre Office.
I also provide the original midi file. The problem is not unique to this file, it is just an example that I used most recently.

Last, I provide the command line responses to these actions.

BTW: The play thru to midi instrument has never actually been set up to work (I do not know how) so I was surprised to hear anything from the midi keyboard.

Are you giving steps for 1.3? I thought you said you were using a nightly build. When I load into a nightly build, there is no option to select shortest note on load (that options appears later) and the music is *already* split into two staves.

At this point. issue reports in the tracker should always be for the latest builds.

Regarding LibreOffice, it sounds like it's probably a system configuration issue, not anything to do with MuseScore. Like you have somehow registered the MSCZ filetype to open in both MuseScore *and* LibreOffice, or something like that. Again, probably better to ask for help in the Support forum on that.

I read the documentation which said to down load and tar/gunzip the package. I did this. I made the file execuitable with sudo chmod per the instructions.

michael1204@mike314159:~/Downloads/MuseScore$ ls -l
total 467568
-rwxr-xr-x 1 michael1204 michael1204 339022725 Jul 20 05:49 mscore
-rw-rw-r-- 1 michael1204 michael1204 139751637 Jul 31 18:20 mscore.64bits-2014-07-23-10-09-ade25ad.tar.bz2

I executed in the download/tar/gunzip directory via command line. (see below)

michael1204@mike314159:~/Downloads/MuseScore$ mscore

This (it seems) executes version 1.3 and you have the results.

I then used the ./ convention used for execuitable script files (see below)

I get:

michael1204@mike314159:~/Downloads/MuseScore$ ./mscore &
[1] 4017
michael1204@mike314159:~/Downloads/MuseScore$ ./mscore: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[1]+ Exit 127 ./mscore
michael1204@mike314159:~/Downloads/MuseScore$

I expect an execuitable in the current directory to execute via its' name via command line. This should not be prempted by a PATH search. It seems that I was wrong. That said, doesn't a nightly build provide for the support libs complained about or point to the locations where they are from version 1.3 ?

PS: The log file has .mscz at the end by mistake. It should be .txt (Plz rename)

Since I did this wrong, I need better instructions to do it right.

Thanks

As far as I know, the defaults for most command shells on most Unix versions do not include "." in the PATH; you'd have to add it yourself. That's something to figure out from the document for your particular system.

As for the missing Qt components, if you are using a Linux variant that does not include Qt5, then I guess you will need to install those. Do a search on the forum for previous discussions of this topic, and if you have more questions after doing that, feel free to ask there - in this case, the Technology Preview is the best to use, since it is dedicated to discussion of the development builds (the Support forum is for discussion of the released versions).

Status (old) needs info closed

Meanwhile, since it seems this issue is not going to be reproducible with the development build, I am closing it.
