Staff broken crashing file

• Aug 27, 2021 - 08:18

Not sure what I did.

Page 20. I'm trying to get rid of this page and the staves on it. The final measure is like it's broken without a final barline.

I tried a few options after a simple Delete didn't work. Such as changing the meter and trying to change the ending barline to just a barline. But none of that worked. It's kind of stuck.

Is there any way to save this or will I have to start a whole new file?

I can't get the file or PDF to upload. I also took a screenshot and can't get that to upload. Now wondering if this is my own computer having problems. I'll try again tomorrow...later today.

Thanks, Sora

My file is 5.228 MB

I compressed the file, but it's still not uploading.

I read about backup files and extensions. My last backup in my Musescore folder called Backup is from 8/11/21. Hmmm, might that be a problem?

Today I am able to attach the PDF of the picture I took of page 20. This is where I think the crash is originating and the page I'm trying to get rid of.

Thanks, Sora

I enlarged the picture so that I could see that extra line. I tried to delete it, but it wouldn't let me. I took a picture of it. It is the first in the PDF below.

Then I made a 2nd Deleted Version - hoping to get the file down in size so I could send it. This time I left ONLY the music and a few pictures on those pages. Yet, each time I saved it barely went down in size. Not enough to be able to send it.

So I closed out thinking that it might reset the size. When I went to open 2nd Deleted Version, it gave me an ERROR MESSAGE - first one. HOPE this might tell you what I need to do next. And possibly what I did wrong so I won't repeat it going forward.

Thanks,
Sora

I read through the thread you attached. That is quite "computer knowledge" detailed. Very interesting. Exactly what I was experiencing. Not sure I would understand how to fix my issue from it.

Since my problem seems fixed, I'll leave it for now...having replaced the measure time signature 5/4 - 3/4 changing to 2/4 -- apparently what the computer was looking for.

If it happens again, I'll reread the thread and contact you all for computer knowledge process.

For now - Just grateful I can continue on with my music on Musescore for my kiddos - and know what to expect and how to work with meter and measures when I return to working with larger orchestral scores after completing this project.

Thanks so much, Sora

A score with 5 MB is suspicious.
If it is an mscx: save as mscz.
If mscz: Does it have images,? If so remove those.

Edit: apparently it has. Delete from score, make the images smaller via some image editor, add them again to the score.

If it is just for reproducing the crash, remove the images and attach the score without them
