Cant change notes without entire system crashing.

• Jul 18, 2023 - 22:56

I updated musescore to 4.1 because I got the update window, then when I opened the score I saw that a ton of the beams in the measures had joined, so I tried to go through to fix the beams, however when I went to the pickup to measure 13 in the cello section line and clicked the note, and the break beam button in the palette, the entire system crashed, I tried again and again and I can't change any of these preeixsting notes without musescore crashing all together.
Is there anyway to fix this or do I just need to copy and paste it over to a new file? Is this one corrupted?

I see a whole bunch of notes that have been set to strange beaming for some reason, but I am not seeing any crashes. Can you give more precise instructions? Which note specific should I click, and how should I change it's beaming.

To get everything back to normal, try Ctrl+A to select all, then Format / Reset beams. Or just select the relevant passage(s) if there are other beam customizations you made deliberately that you want to keep.

Again, I tried a few things and couldn't reproduce a crash. Please give precise steps to reproduce - exactly which note of which staff you are selecting (and whether you are viewing the score or the part), whether you are using the palette or properties panel to apply the customization, and exactly which icon you are clicking.

My question is strictly about playback. I am aware that the beaming is counter to the default in Musescore. They imitate the beaming in the autograph which IMHO is more a) apt to reflect correct phrasing and b) in most cases more easily readable.

The piano parts in these sonatas (there is a whole set of them) are uncommonly complex, stretching the potential of using voices. I have been wondering if the composer herself could even play them.
