Bug in Musescore 3.04

• Mar 1, 2019 - 17:12

I loaded the new update to Musescore 3.0 yesterday onto my Mac computer and I was unable to use the program because the program consistently crashed.

Try: /Applications/MuseScore\ 3.app/Contents/MacOS/mscore -w
run and open preferences, disable start center.
But I don't know if it'll work.

I am in trouble here, please help!
I updated to 3.04 and it crashed and trashed both my application and the open file. I removed the application from my MAC and started over and that did not help - the application crashes instantly upon opening.

So I really need to finish my project and I cannot seem to find a non-crashing version. I there a link to an older version that I may use until this is fixed PLEASE!!

So I tried to re-load MuseScore2, and the download and opening of the application worked - but unfortunately the old application will not allow access to your Musescore-Files until the an update is performed .... Now I am back to a crashed version again .... gees

Same here. I'm on Mac OS 10.14.3

I just saw Marc's note. He's right. If I double-click a saved MuseScore file, MuseScore launches without crashing. Once MuseScore is up and running, File: Open... seems to work normally without causing crashes.

Please explain for clarity....

also:

What is the precise difference in your actions to cause these two dissimilar outcomes?

I agree with your statement.
So, as Timborino wrote:
Point #1:

Of course, no Start Center is invoked.

Next point:

So...
How exactly does one open MuseScore with a saved file to cause the crash?

Sorry to have caused confusion. I did edit my reply a few minutes after I posted it. I also might have contradicted myself. It looks like the problem is in the StartCenter. I don't think I have a bad score. All my scores work just fine once I get MuseScore launched successfully.

If MuseScore is not running, I can launch it successfully by double-clicking a saved score. If I try to launch MuseScore specifically, it always crashes, whether or not I try to open a document concurrently in the StartCenter.

If I posted something contradictory, just ignore it. I hope I made it clear this time. I appreciate all the MuseScore volunteers who are concerned about this problem and want to fix it.
