My Parts got messed up after editing the score. Please Help
I spent hours trying to make my big band chart look nice. So I went to the score and fixed a couple of beaming problems with 8th notes, staccato markings on quarter notes, etc... Once I was done editing the score, the parts looked terrible. For instance, there were missing beats and rests all over the place. When I edit a measure in the part, then in the score that measure is completely blank and doesn't have any rests or notes in it. When I try to copy and paste something into the measure from the score, then the measure disappears in the part.
Can someone please take a look at this file and try to help me out?
Thank you,
Dylan

It would be useful to know how the score arrived in this state.
If you remember when it started to go wrong, please share new comment(s).

Thank you for repairing that. How did you do that? Unfortunately that changed all of the edits I was trying to make to the score and parts to make them look clean and readable.
I think the reason why this might've happened is because I wasn't constantly auto-saving the file. This has never happened to me. I made a bunch of edits to the score, which usually never causes a corruption. When I changed 8th notes to staccato quarter notes, the program must've had a glitch and thought the staccato quarter note was an 8th note, because it deleted an 8th note rest from the measure.

"I think the reason why this might've happened is because I wasn't constantly auto-saving the file"
No sure here that it would be involved.
"I made a bunch of edits to the score"
I would bet rather on this, and at a certain moment, an edition gone wrong. Remains to know how, where and when!

This looks better. This time, the score and parts look similar to how I had it in the first place with all of the mistakes, although the parts look better than the last edit you sent me which took out all of my formatting. Although, look at measure 104 in the Alto 1 part. There's a missing 8th note in the measure.
Also, measures 3-14 in the piano part don't have any chords written in.
When I try to copy and paste the guitar part at 104 to the alto 1 which should be identical, it looks fine on the score, but once I go back to the alto one part, measure 104 is missing and the barline to where 104 is supposed to be in twice as think for some reason. Look in the screen below.
Is there any way you can fix both problems? The first time around, all of the problems were fixed except the formatting of all my parts looked bad. The second time, it looked like you fixed a couple of things but there are still too many things wrong with it.

Hey, it it the reason for why the first time I have preferred to completely solve the issue by recreating the parts (that doesn't look "bad", this is the default way).
The second time, considering your comment, I tried to save your parts (but no sure it is/was the good decision).
I will take a look to your file. But is it in the same state as before (the second " fix"/attached file) or have you edited something after that? If so, attach the file instead an image (and for fix "new" problems, it is a necessary condition)

Here it is. I think the best solution would be to redo all of the parts from the first file you sent. Because, this file that you edited is in the same previous state that it was in. Thank you for all your help! I have another unrelated question. When writing big band charts, do you prefer to have instructions and tempo markings below or above the staff?

If you listen to the midi playback at 41, it's different than the very beginning. Why is that when it's the same exact thing?

Here's another really corrupted file. Look at the second page on the alto 1 part.

Okay. So, the parts are fixed now and, and in the same order than in your original file.
It must be better (I hope)

It's better now. For some reason, there are still a lot of notes missing all over the place. I think I'm going to edit the parts of the first edit you sent me.
