MuseScore crashes during playback and MIDI export
I have just installed MuseScore on my computer which runs Win2000. The demo score played fine, and I was able to export a MIDI file from it. I then imported a musicXML file, which I was able to edit, including transposing the whole piece. However the program crashed when I tried to play the score. I restarted the program - same problem. Also the program crashed when I tried to export MIDI.
Could these be problems related specifically to Win2000, since most new software requires XP? I hope these problems can be fixed. I was pleased to find MuseScore, and was particularly pleased with the XML import - just being able to transpose the music is a bonus for me, but playback would be nice as well!

This problem is not related with the OS, but rather a musicXML import issue. This bug has been reported before and is most likely fixed in the latest prerelease which you can download at http://prereleases.musescore.org
If the problem still persists, could you upload the musicXML file to a new comment so we could try to reproduce the problem?
This file was exported from Sharpeye 2. MuseScore opens the file OK, but playback crashes the program. I have installed the latest pre-release.
Thanks!

The xml file has some weird repeats. If you set the "play reapeats" button to off, mscore playes the score.

Thank you very much for that. Incidentally, when I unchecked "repeats" in preferences - MIDI export, I was able to save a MIDI as well.

It appears that Sibelius 5.2 cannot open the musicXML as well. Clearly something which has to be reported to the makers of SharpEye.
