Musescore crashing during playback
This is new tonight because I've been working on this piece for a while, and although I've had issues relating to other things, it's always played back, albeit spotty on occasion. But now, it crashes (the program closes) after 20 or 30 bars. The score is attached. It has also kicked out trying to save, and doing basic operations. I've tried restarting my computer, but it didn't help.

This is another aspect of this issue; #283152: Crash when removing a section break, or by various editing work before it, in a score with parts and MM rests , the fatal combination of section breaks and multimeasure rests in parts.
And a lot of ways to get the program to crash. Delete a section break for example.
Including playback (which stops after Auto Save). There is also a problem of corruption in measure 349 (you have to remove bar 349 from the piano in triplets, then re-enter it). But it is a secondary problem.
On the other hand, I see another, a new one, which concerns multimeasure rests in parts also. Although they are disabled, in all parts, this setting is lost after saving, and therefore reappear after reload. Maybe also explaining a part of the problem.
However, for now, the way to work on your score is to disable these mm rests in parts. And to think of disabling them after a new loading.
Removing section breaks can also be the other solution, but probably less pleasant (and above all, it should not be removed if multimeasure rests are enabled)

And so, the second one: #283497: Setting of disable multimeasure rests in parts is lost after saving

Thanks for your attempt to help me, but I have no idea what you're talking about. I've had multi-measure rests in the parts for days, and there's been no trouble. It worked fine all day. All I did was jack around with a few measures of triplets. That, however, should not send the thing into a tailspin.
There is certainly an issue with section breaks, which I have managed to work around, but often when I delete a section break, the program crashes.
It got to the point that I couldn't even look at the score without it kicking me out. Thankfully, I had not uploaded the crapped up version to the site, so I was able to download it and use it. I don't think I lost anything material, just some harmonization (I hope).
Honestly, I have never seen software so buggy, especially one I had to pay to get the full online thing. I think Musescore 2 was more stable. Maybe 3 was released too soon.
It's getting to where I'm afraid to do anything because I'll run across some fatal bug that will ruin the score (such as it is). I don't know what to do, other than to maybe save the score online under different names each time so I'll always have a point I can go back to (the upload history is useless, so far as I can tell).

Okay, I'll try to summarize:
1) Things started to go wrong when you added section breaks, in main score and parts. The problem is not mm rests or section breaks. It's one + the other, that don't mix well at all!
This is the same ascertainment with this file arrived on your previous message: https://musescore.org/en/node/283114
(I saw it later, after the tests!) And so, I confirm that the issue is indeed the one described: #283152: Crash when removing a section break, or by various editing work before it, in a score with parts and MM rests
2) Things then got worse later with the same file (current attachment) due of few corruption (the one seen yesterday in the main score, and after further research, also in the violin part measures 333 and 356, possibly also because of triplets, you say you fought against them. For the record, feel free to ask questions about how to enter these triplets)
In summary, this last night's file was really in poor condition, hence the behaviour observed. I cleaned all this up (you'll have to re-enter measures that were sick), and I replaced the section breaks with system breaks.
I know it's not the same thing, but the file is now secure (I think, otherwise, open a new thread). So, you can continue to work.
And at the very end, and when the layout is finished, you can add section breaks. But without ever cutting them off (or disabling multi-measure rests in the parts before that). And maybe this issue will be already fixed (for the next updat I guess in a few weeks)
