Cannot correct wrong length of a bar

• Oct 6, 2023 - 15:41

The testfile appended is a very little sniplett of a full score. The score is convertet from a large MusicXML file.
There are some additional breaks (1/64,1/32,1/16) in the end of bar 2. These additional breaks only appear in this single voice and causes musescore to state an error "Takt 2, Notenzeile 1 unvollständig. Erwartet: 6/8; Gefunden: 55/64". [There are some similar faults at other places in the score].

These extra breaks are just garbage, but I do not know, how to delete them.
How to fix it? How to get rid off these extra breaks? All my attemps (just delete them, copy from somewhere else and paste here, expand and shrink the bar ...) failed, these breaks persist,

What are these breaks and how to get rid of them?

Help!

Thanks in advance!

I could correct your example as follows:

  • Measure properties: Change 'Actual' from 6/8 to 8/8. An additional quarter rest is appended to the far right.
  • Then make the last eighth note a quarter note - there is room - and immediately an eighth note again. This creates a new eighth-note rest immediately after that note.
  • Now select all superfluous rests in the measure and delete them with Ctrl+Del.

I can't say for sure if this works in the context of all other instruments. However, by lengthening the measure it might work - it's worth a try. I suppose the key point here is that I could create a regular rest after the last note.
Jojo-Schmitz's suggestion definitely works, although it is a bit more work.

Thanks for your help, but it does not work in my context. Whenever I delete the 7/64th superfluous rests using Ctrl+Del, this measure is shortened by these 7/64th for all lines in the score. Nevertheless: Thanks!

I have made it step by step, and now its done.
