Musescore 3.0.4.21117 Crash When Trying To Change Instrument
Musescore 3.0.4.21117 Rev. cda4080 on MacOS Mojave 10.14.3 Crashing repeatedly
Working on a simple score which consists of a Violin stave and Piano staves. Using the default SoundFont.
Steps resulting in repeated crashes as follows:
Select text in front of stave "Violin"
Select "stave/part properties" (under "Edit Element")
Select "Change Instrument",
Select "woodwind/flute",
Select "apply" , "OK"
= crash
I have tried other instruments with the same result...
Any tips appreciated (further details below)
Thanks

rightclick into the staff instead maybe?
BTW same procedure doesn't crash on Windows

please find attached draft file... (unable to credit the source of the piano score, perhaps an earlier form of one of the two or three available on Musescore?)
Thanks

There must be something specific to the score. It looks like it was imported from midi.

Hi Mike,
Whilst I can't speak for the original piano score, all I did was download the piano score from Musescore, added the violin stave, copy/pasted some notes from piano stave and inserted some violin notes. Being dissatisfied with the violin sound (I know Musescore is primarily for notation) i tried to find a more acceptable sound from the available instruments... and that caused the crashes.

I don't know what the root cause of the issue is, but I wanted to pass along what I've found to anyone else who will look at this. No doubt, someone will look at it and discover the issue, probably a programmer.

I just had the same crash happen to me on a score being built from scratch. I edited the Trumpet parts (to change their names) and was about to do the same from the Trombones (to get Trombone 1 and Trombone 2). Right clicked on Trombone (the first one in the staff) and it crashed. I have attached the score (which hardly has anything in it) and the crash dump. When Musescore reopened, I was able to right-click on Trombone with no crash - so this appears to be intermittent. I will keep monitoring to see if it happens again and if I can narrow the cause.
