Template crashes MuseScore
I created a file for use as a Template. However, whenever I try to load it, MuseScore crashes. Here's what I've done:
FIRST: "save as copy" the normal MuseScore file in /documents/MuseScore4/Templates folder. Then I closed the file.
SECOND: File --> New--> Create from Templates --> My Templates --> "Hall Template" --> Done
....and down goes MuseScore.
The only other template I've written opens fine. Can anyone see what's wrong with this one? I hope it's a simple fix. And I certainly want to know if I've done anything obviously wrong before I move on to create other templates.
I'm on Windows 11 Pro, running the latest version of MuseScore4. Thanks in advance!

Make sure the template uses page view, not continuous view
Edit: this score is in page view, so there must be a different issue
Don't crash on Linux Mint 21 AppImage.
I can confirm the crash on Windows 11 and even with the latest development build. So best report this on GitHub, https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/new/choose
I went back and deleted everything in that template except my style settings, the title, and the measures; so, no notes nor rests, no special characters or markings. Then, when I opened it as a template, MuseScore did not crash and instead properly opened a new file based on the template. The only issue was the score presented in multi-measure mode, so I had to hit "M" to get it to show all the measures. This doesn't happen with the (only) other template I have made, and I haven't figured out why.
After some more experimentation, I found all I needed to do was delete from the score any elements that came from my custom palette. So if someone else has this problem, I hope they find this solution: avoid using elements from custom palettes when preparing templates.

Still worth reporting as a bug on GitHub
