Same part keeps duplicating itself every time the score is reopened.
I'm working on a percussion cover of Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling" and the marimba part keeps duplicating itself. I have two marimbas added to my score but one of them keeps duplicating every time I restart Musescore (or more specifically open the score). I have a picture attached to help further explain my issue.
The score attached was created only in MuseScore 4.0. I've been able to replicate this problem using the following steps:
- Open the score that has been attached.
- Close all of the duplicated score tabs leaving the one original tab open.
- Open the second marimba part (should be the last one listed in the parts popup).
- Save the score.
- Close and reopen Musescore (reopen the part)
It's gotten to a point where I now have 8 marimba parts, 6 of which are duplicates. There is no option to delete the duplicated parts because they are not custom. If anyone could suggest a solution on how to remove them, that'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

FWIW, I opened two instances of your score. In the second one, I deleted the marimba staves, and saved with a new name. I opened the new score and added a marimba. Closed that score. Re-opened and C+P one of the marimba parts from the OE score into the new score. Closed and opened that score several times and no new parts added.
Not sure what that means, but it might give you some ideas. Could be some hidden problem with one of the marimba parts.

I replicated what you did, and got the same result! I'm extremely confused about why it happened in the first place. Maybe it was just a random bug with the instrument.
Thanks for your help.
