MuseScore crashes at midnight
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. Three times in the last four days I have been using MuseScore late at night, and every time it has crashed at exactly midnight. Does anyone know why this might be happening or how to fix it?

Can you check the crontab of your system? Is there anything related to your sound manager in it ?

How do I do that? I thought that cron only ran on servers - maybe I am not fully understanding something.

Open a terminal window and run
crontab -l
to see whether there are any commands set to run at midnight. For example:
0 0 * * 0 /home/jon/scripts/backup.bash
would run /home/jon/scripts/backup.bash at midnight - the first figure is minutes, the second is hours, so this runs at 0:00 i.e. midnight.
cron runs on all UNIX computers, including Linux ones, whether they are servers or not.

I ran MuseScore from a terminal and let it run until it crashed. It did so at 10:57 so I suppose the time is not critical. Here is the end of the output:

It looks like a problem with ALSA. Can you upload a screen capture of Edit -> Preferences -> I/O ?

Here it is. I noticed that I am using a custom device that is also recording while playing that I had set up to record one of my songs - ugghh...I think that might be the problem. I will try with some other ALSA devices and report on whether the problem persists.
