MSCZ backup file crashes Musescore 2.0.3
Hello fellow Musescorians,
I was working on a piece for Harp for a friend. I had only worked on it for about an hour before I attempted to adjust the stretch of the score. However, I noticed the "stretching" wasn't being applied, and shortly afterwards the entire program crashed.
I looked for the backup file and found it, however anytime I open it says that a "Previous session closed unexpectedly" and asks if I want to recover it, and whether I click YES or NO, musescore crashes and poof. Done.
It's infuriating because a second time I tried re-writing this piece (I "snapchatted" a portion of it to my friend and was able to get a screengrab) and tried re-writing it. This time I saved an actual copy and was saving frequently. I closed out after a certain point and found that not only had the back-up file not saved any of the recent changes on it, but me MANUALLY SAVING IT had no effect either.
So now the original I was working on crashes Musescore, and the newer one that I tried re-writing didn't even save properly. What is going on??
I was reading elsewhere here on the forums about using glissando in some spots that can cause the file to crash...I know nothing of the "technicalities" behind Musescore and am just wanting to know if there's any way I can recover the old file at this point.
Attaching the autosave backup of the first session.
EDIT: I am also using Windows Vista. Outdated, I know, hope this has nothing to do with the functionality of the program.

Obviously, this score is corrupted and crash at the opening, indeed.
Is it a score you created initially with MuseScore? If so, which version (2.03, 2.0.2, other), and by specifying the steps which could lead to this kind of problem.
Or is it an imported file (MIDI, Pdf conversion , MusicXML, others) that you have re-worked thereafter with MuseScore?
In these later cases, it would helpful to attach the score in its "original" format (and in the same way, by describing what you have specifically done after that)
In reply to Obviously, this score is by cadiz1
It apparently got created (or last saved) with 2.0.2) on Windows (Vista, as the OP confirmed), no traces of any Import.
The latest build from master chrashes on it too
Problem is a glissando that is in the file twice. Fixed file attached. It still has quite a lot glissandos, at places where I woudn't really expect them

The latest nightly, release (for me!) indeed, and all previous nigtlies (in 2016, 2015 etc.) that I have tried until now.

It indeed crashes whelile working on a glissando
So crashes anywhere between 2.0.2 (f51dc11, Jul 16 2015) probably even earlier, and 7383524 from yesterday
(and no, Vista has nothing to do with it, it crashes here on Windows 7 too)

"It indeed crashes whelile working on a glissando"
More specifically ? Can you reproduce from scratch with precise steps?
In reply to "It indeed crashes whelile by cadiz1
I can't, but there is are two glisses with the id=3 in the file and for the same chord, deleting one of them fixes the crash
In reply to I can't, but there is are two by Jojo-Schmitz
You guys are unreal! Thank you so much. Is there any way to avoid this in the future with the glissandos? Just keep them out altogether until an updated version of Musescore fixes this?

Glissandos normally work fine; I've never heard of another report of a similar problem. You just aparently hit on some really unusual sequence of operations no one else has ever tried and that is what triggered the bug.
Until you or someone else figures out how to reproduce the bug from scratch, it's unlikely it can be fixed, but also, since no one else has reported similar problems, it's also pretty unlikely you'd ever hit on that exact sequences of problematic steps by accident again. Just use glissandi normally, if you ever see a problem again, try to remember what you did and report it, but chances are that won't be an issue.

Weird, now something very similar has been reported again: https://musescore.org/en/node/122976. Still, it's very rare, even if reported twice now within a few hours :-)
