Time signature problem

• Jul 8, 2015 - 00:59

After 30 measures of 3/4 I changed the time signature to "C." Unfortunately, starting with my second measure in "C" the program is still notating in 3/4. Help!

I tried. I got the following response:

Ah, it seems we have other problems—almost certainly critical ones. We'll have to take a look at the corruptions too, but instead of using File -> Save Online or musescore.com, just use the "File attachments" option at the bottom of the page, just above the "Save" and "Preview" buttons when you're typing your post.

Indeed, somewhere the score has become corrupt. Wass this created from scratch in 2.0 / 2.0.1, or was it by any chance imported from MIDI or MusicXML or from MuseScore 1.3, or perhaps started in an experimental prelease build? Anything you can remember about how this happened?

To fix it, probably the easiest method in this case is to delete the "C" time signature then add it back. You'll have a couple of extra rests, so then you'll need to cut and paste the music around to fix it (or just reenter those measure), but at least the corruption will be fixed.

Very likely a new variation/duplicate of this bug: #89401: Deletion of the first measure removes the time signature in parts
This single image below (already seen elsewhere, eg in comment #4 of this other duplicate: #87656: Corruption in a saved part after a change of time signature ) is more that words...

Steps:

1) "My First Score" -> 3/4 time signature
2) Fill five measures
3) Generates parts
4) Delete the first measure
5) View part -> File -> Save under -> Save, and close

6) Reload (you see corruption warnings)
7) Add a 4/4 time signature in measure 3
8) Add a 3/4 time signature in measure 1, and fill the rests created by this operation by new notes (or not, or a few) in these two first measures.

Result: the measures in 3/4 are correct, the measures in 4/4 are corrupted as described above in this thread.
