Layout errors when opening 0.9.5 files with 0.9.6 version
I made an organ book of 147 pages (divided in about 70 files) in MuseScore 0.9.5 with good results.
Now I downloaded the 0.9.6 version of MuseScore, but I have mainly layout problems with many sheets of music.
Just to mention the more evident ones:
In the Key menu, no accided is shown, but only five empty lines for all the Keys.
When a change of Key occurs in the same piece, the accidents shown are a wrong mixture of things, badly aligned.
In several cases, when Staff Text is used, it is not displayed in the original place on the page but in an often far position.
So I was forced to rush back to version 0.9.5.
Any suggestion?

The key signature problem is a duplicate of this report:
#5707: Key palette is empty on Mac PPC (Big-endian)
For layout issues between 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 please attach a score that shows the problem to a post in the forums so that others can reproduce the behavior you are describing.
Once the problem is isolated (with clear steps to reproduce starting from a new score) it can be added to the issue tracker.
Now some problems where solved in 0.9.6.1 version, but one still remains and I think to have detected the cause.
In practice, opening a 0.9.5 file in 0.9.6.1 causes the program to add courtesy accidentals everywhere...
I write small pieces or organ exercices that last less than one page and make files of two or three pages. In version 0.9.5 a piece with no accidentals was suited by one with five sharps and then by one with no accidentals again with no problem.
Opening it in version 0.9.6.1 the piece preceding that with five sharps shows five naturals after the clefs in all lines for the entire piece. The piece that follows shows five naturals on the first line only (but I do not need it and 0.9.5 works correctly in this respect). I noted that 0.9.6.1 has in the STYLE>Modify Style>Page panel the new option "Courtesy accidentals" that is lacking in 0.9.5.
Nevertheless, even unchecking this option and saving the file as 0.9.6.1 the problem persists when the file is reopened.
As I have many pages full of these small pieces with varying clef accidentals I was forced for the moment to revert to 0.9.5 version because the resulting layout is a real mess: sorry!
Thank you for your help!
