Glitch in meter after re-starting of Musescore

• Jul 17, 2022 - 02:32

Hi,
I have a problem with the attached measures, where an eighth note is 'thrown out' of the bar and a fourth
rest is put instead, each time I start Musescore. This is very annoying as I have to fix this manually every time.
Can anyone help please? Thank you in advance.

There's very little we can tell from just a picture of a score, but the error message is clear enough - your score has become corrupted somehow. See https://musescore.org/en/node/54721 for info on how to fix these. If you continue to have trouble, please attach your actual score so we can understand and assist better.

Thank you Marc! Unfortunately nothing of what I could find from the link provided worked... every time I open the score the bar's note value is broken again and again... please see attached the snippet of the score and the 2 nd file showing the desired effect which get destroyed every time the program is closed. Thank you in advance for any further advice.

I'm not sure why you see it break again and again, but here are the steps I took to fix the Glitch_Snippet:

Select bars 3 & 4
Press the voice 2 button on the note input toolbar, this'll move only the notes to voice 2 and auto-fill the gaps between them with (correct) rests
Select bars 3 & 4 again
Tools > Voices > Exchange voices 1-2 (you now have the corruption rest in voice2)
Selection Filter (F6), uncheck "voice 1"
Del, removes the 2nd voice
check "voice 1" back on in the selection filter
Remove the slur leading into bar 3 and re-enter it
Enter notes on top of the (now correct) 1/16th rests and add ties from their preceding notes
Save and Close

FWIW, it also worked for me to simply select those two measures on the top staff, hit Delete, and re-enter the notes.

Hi Marc, thank you for your advice. Nothing worked... could you please kindly look at the attached file in the bars starting from 615? It keeps on throwing the 16th notes out of the measures... Thank you in advance!

i added two measure after the corrupted ones, copied the other instruments from 615, 616 into them and manually entered the notes for the trumpet. Then I deleted the bad measures. I also deleted the Parts as there was corruption at several places,

As MuseScore reports upon opening the score, it is corrupted, and that is why you are having trouble - you need to fix the corruptions then resave the score. If you've successfully fixed them, you will stop seeing a message about the score being corrupted even time you try to save or open the score.
