Crashing every 90 seconds - Corruption? - Help?

• Aug 17, 2023 - 01:54

Dear musical friends,

I'm working on my new waltz, i'm writing for orchestra, I already finished violin part. Just started with cello, but every 90 sec my musescore crashes? Can someone help?

Kind Regards!

Please be more precise. A crash by doing exactly what (step by step) and where exactly in the score? I ran the playback, edited a few notes: I didn't encounter any problems, let alone a crash.

When im editing my score, no matter what instrument, about every 90 sec my application crashes. It doesnt have an exact location. I copied some stuff from my piano. I did delete some rests from that score en then copied into the orchestral score. Its just kinda annoying when working, ill try again and hope it will be okay :)

" I did delete some rests from that score"
You should not be deleting rests.
Copy-and-paste workflow: after copying measures, you simply place the cursor on the first appropriate rest or note - and then paste. See the Handbook:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/copy-and-paste#copy-range

In case there is some corruption in the separate instrument parts, I used the free 7-Zip tool to open your .mscz file as a Zip archive. Then I deleted the Excerpts folder, which leaves just the full score. You will have to regenerate the Parts, but it's worth trying this version because it will have removed one possible cause of corruption (i.e. faults in the separate parts).

Cannot reproduce.
If you copy from one musescore file to another, pay attention on elements like trills, hairpins, lines, voltas. They are problematic. Check if time signature from one score matches another score.
Parts are also problematic. If you copy and paste right into score part, it may also lead to score problems.

I can produce a crash as follows:
Open the score and you will see a tab for the Violin. Click that and, in the Instruments panel, click on the closed eyeball icon for Flute (or any other instrument it seems).
The crash also occurs when the Violoncello is displayed and a "closed eyeball" is clicked in the Instruments panel.

Going to Parts and resetting (via the 3-dot ellipsis) the Violin and the Violoncello eliminates the crash.
