still problems properly uploading to this site

• May 11, 2023 - 21:31

once my score is processed, there are all kinds of weird things going on. notes flipped that aren't meant to be flipped. things slightly out of place. file isn't corrupted, i've tried multiple times to re-save and upload properly, and it's still happening

website bug? or score problem?

Do you mean this website - the support website for the software - or the commercial score-sharing website musescore.com? For questions about that site, best to head over there. But if you mean this site, then try attaching your score to a reply here and telling us exactly what the problem is so we can understand and assist better.

the latter - I actually figured out a way to bypass the problem, although i'm still not sure why it's doing it in the first place

it's a VERY large score so I won't attach it, but the gist of it is that there are certain notes that are flipped the wrong way when it gets uploaded (despite me manually re-flipping, re-saving, re-uploading, etc). my guess is that it's a voicing thing. it only occurs in bars where there are multiple voices - but that shouldn't matter right? when you flip notes, they should stay flipped regardless

"it only occurs in bars where there are multiple voices - but that shouldn't matter right? when you flip notes, they should stay flipped regardless"

Yes, but it really helps if you stick to the conventional rules:
- stem-up notes use Voice 1 (and Voice 3 for another stem-up voice)
- stem-down notes use Voice 2 (and Voice 4 for another stem-down voice)

Did you use optical music recognition (OMR) for any passages in your score? For example the MuseScore menu option File > Import PDF... which uses the Audiveris software? I can't comment on Audiveris, but I have noticed that other OMR software wrongly assigns stem-down notes to Voice 1 and stem-up notes to Voice 2. This happens specifically when the first notes of a measure are stem-down while the "stem-up" part initially consists of rests (rests which may be omitted on the PDF).
