time signature changes to individual parts
Hello,
I'm working on a piece for two pianos. I was able to change one part from 9/8 to 3/4 but now I wish to revert to 9/8 and Musescore won't let me. Have you any suggestion?
Thanking you in advance.

This is an open issue and a serious problem. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/18089
"Local time signature not possible if parts exist"
The 'workaround ' involves a lot of work. See the third comment of MarcSabatella on Jun 21.
But it will probably not survive after saving. Better to try graphical faking. Insert a graphical 3/4 timesig. and adjust the beaming for those measures.

Thanks for your reply, however the measures remain in simple time (3/4) while I need them to be in (the original) compound time (9/8).
If I start a new file and copy:paste the staves would this work?
Thanks again.

OK, in fact I'm using Linux Mint and I opened the folder in which this piece is. I had access to the excerpts folder and was able to delete the two parts Piano 1 and 2.
I reopened the piece in Musescore and the change of time signature worked.
I'll know in future not to look at individual parts until I'm finished!
This may not work under Microsoft or Apple.
BTW I originally used the software on windows 10 but there was a problem with the sound in playback. there was an awful amount of reverb but on linux there is no such problem.
Many thanks again for your help.

FWIW, I opened you score and went to the end of the music. I selected the last measure of the top line and hit "R". The measure copied into the next measure. Just like it is supposed too. Then I tried the same with the 1st measure of the top line of piano 2. I got an error wanting me to select the complete tuplet and try again. It seems like you were never really in 3/4. At least MuseScore seems to be trying to make sense of 9/8 and 3/4 at the same time.
