Musescore crashes when I open a certain piece, and opens every other one just fine.
I am unable to open a file on Musescore. I opened Musescore, and when it brought up the Score Wizard, I selected the file. It crashed immediately after I clicked on the file. After this, I sent a report to Apple and opened Musescore again. I tried not restoring the session and clicking on the problem, and it crashed again. I tried restoring the session, and it also crashed. Opening the file from Finder brought up the Score Wizard again, and when I clicked on the file, it crashed.
I am using using MacOS 10.13.6 and Musescore 3.2.2. My file is linked below. Thank you for your help!

The problem seems to have to do with a staff type change at the very beginning of the piece. This serves no real purpose - these elements are meant for mid-score changes. So here is your score with that element removed.

Thanks for the help! I put in the staff change to reduce everything to one page; is there a way that I could shrink the staff and its elements in a different settings page?

Certainly, The normal way to shrink things is to change the staff size in Format / Page Setting - this affects everything uniformly. If you want to affect one staff but not others, you can right-click a staff and use Staff Properties then set it Small, or use the Scale setting. The staff type change, as mentioned, is only intended for mid-score changes, more for experimental notation than anything an ordinary user would ever have need for.

It still shouldn't cause a file to crash MuseScore.

Sure. I didn't have time to investigate further; I just wanted to fix the file for the user. Definitely worth filing a bug report on. It does look like it's as simple as what I saw: a staff type change on the first bar caused a crash on read. I have now filed this as #291969: Crash on load of score with staff type change on measure 1

I just got back after being gone about a week so I'm playing catch up today and not trying to get deep into anything others can or I would have tested and posted the bug myself.
