I AM PISSED! MuseScore 4.4.4 crashed twice, and then won't restore my score!
I had a score that had some style features and sounds saved like I wanted them, and when I finished with that score, called Hosanna, I went to write a new score. Instead of setting up everything, I made a copy of the Hosanna score and then erased the music to start a fresh score, while keeping my settings and sounds the same.
I updated to 4.4.4 today from 4.3.2. At first I liked it, but I've been very skeptical of updates, because 4.3.2 is the ONLY version I have gotten to work for playback decently with my Opus sounds. Everything else is TRASH, especially when exporting - I've already complained about that with not much help, other than it's a known error will be fixed down the road.
The issue I have today happened not more than 15 minutes after updating - not a good sign! Muse kept crashing on me. The first time I relaunched after the complete crash, it asked to restore the music. I clicked yes. And it restored most of what I had completed to that point.
Not more than 30 seconds later, it crashes again!!!!! When I relaunch, and choose yes to restore again, it takes it way back to the completed Hosanna score that the file originally started with. I assume if I started with a blank file, upon the second restoration, it would have just been blank! I had about 10-15 measures of original work for the orchestra written out and now I am very mad because it's gone!
If 4.4.4 is this unstable, I cannot complete my work for the Resurrection Cantata which rehearsals begin soon. I need an update that will fix this or I will be looking for a paid, professional application.

Thank you! Yes, getting crunch time for finalizing my scores!!!!
We really need to find out what is going on here. I think part of the problem might be that few people with the same sound fonts as you are having problems. It might not be the fonts at all. I am suspicious of deleting the notes from a score, then opening that blank score in a new version. You would think that it would work. But maybe not.
I have found that it is a good idea to restart my computer after doing any software update and before using it. I recall one update where I right away loaded a score. Playback didn't work. Then I restarted and playback was fine.
I suspect that something you are doing is causing this. We need the score to find out. I tried to download scores from your previous posts, but you have removed them. I've never had a score crash on its own. So it is possible for everything to work.

Reboot the PC and see if this helps? Biggest problem is I don’t know if I can remember all my good music I wrote 😣😣😣
