"Delete bars" Crash
One crash that I am experiencing seems to be related to delete bars.
I am working on scores for Flute and Piano with numerous time signature changes and tied notes over bars.
Today it has crashed a couple of times.
The latest was when I had appended a few too many bars at the end and tried to delete the last 6 or so. Crash.
Comments
I reloaded the score, finished the work and tried again to delete the few bars.
Previously I had added the "End" barline, and the crash happened.
This time I removd the bars without adding the end bar line.
Successful.
Working in XP with 9.0.4. Most of you seem to be having better luck than me with the deletion of measures. I have followed the guide by selecting the measure with the CTRL key depressed. I get the dotted lines around the measure (all three- the melody line, guitar and base guitar line) but nothing seems to delete it (them): not the delete key, not CTRL -X, not Edit - Cut. I tried removing lyrics and at the moment just have a rest in the measure. Any advice?

I am using XP Pro. I can only enter the first bar of a new composition. When trying to enter notes on the second bar I get slurred notes for four bars. Upon deleting these bars by using "cut" for each individual note, the system crashes and returns the following message:
Run Time Error.
This application requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information.
I am completelyt new to this site and do not knwo how to rewport such bugs. Can anyone enlighten me.
It seesm that msot site users are running a Linux OS.
I am familiar with Linux and have, Ubuntu, Kbuntu, Mint, and Debian versions.
Should I run this apllication on Linux and if so What is the best version ?

I can't manage to reproduce this problem. Can you give step by step instructions so we can reproduce this crash?
Whether you report it on Linux, Windows or Mac, this problem seems to be platform independent.
In reply to Reproduce by Thomas
You wanted complete instructions. Here they are.
1. Open Musescore
2. New score.
Title enter "Test"
3. Instrument "Guitar"
4. Tme Signature 4/4
5. Key "C"
6. Move cursor to choose a quarter note or use keyboard it makes no difference.
7. Ist Bar
All notes are quarter notes.
Use keyboard or mouse , it makes no difference to enter three "G" notes on ledger line, and one "A" note.
Comment first bar is now full.
8. 2nd Bar
All note are half notes,
Use keyboard or mouse it makes no difference to select one half note: minim.
9. Use keyboard or mouse it makes no difference to enter note on ledger line.
Comment trouble starts here.
Immediately upon trying to enter the half note the second, third and fourth bar are each assigned two whole notes:
semi-breves, and they are all "tied".
I then use "cut" to erase each individual semi-breve one by one and as I do the sytem crashes and post the messgae that I have already reported.
I have six computers, on three I have Win XP Pro. Musescore does the above on all of them. It is not the fault of XP Pro or my computers.

And you are using MuseScore 0.9.5 ? Because I can't reproduce.
Here is the keyboard sequence once the new score is created.
N to enter note input mode
5 for quarter
G and Ctrl + down for a G with legder lines
G
G
C
6 for half notes
C
C
(I'm at your 8. here, no problem, no tie)

From the main menu go to Help > About. Please report the Version number and the Revision number.
Are you creating the guitar score from scratch or are you using a guitar template that you created?
For what it is worth, I'm using Windows XP as well so it probably isn't a compatibility problem.
I sounds like you are able to reproduce the crash consistently. Does it happen every time or just occasionally? Maybe you could create a screen cast so we can see if there is any difference between what you are doing and what we are doing when we try to reproduce the bug.
Using version 0.9.5 revision 2012.
Created a score from scratch (piano, removed bass cleft), entered title etc, specified correct number of measures. Opened another MuseScore file, created by someone also using 0.9.5 (not sure of build). Copied entire score into my empty one. First problem was that some of the chords were different, Ctrl+K showed two question-marks after chord name, I manually repaired that. Second problem was trying to edit lyrics. Select word, right-click, select "Text properties...", click button for italic, then OK. Text replaces note on stave, "undo" deletes it all together. Third problem (related to this thread) was a result of the copying I think. Had one bar with a quaver rest at the end, right-click on the measure (or SHIFT+click) caused MuseScore to crash, with a "MuseScore.exe needs to close...sorry for the inconvenience" message.
I've attached the file in case that would help.

Could you attach the file you started with that your friend sent. The goal of a bug report is to allow others to reproduce the bug from the very beginning.
In reply to Could you attach the file you by David Bolton
Just a further detail, I copied the first measure separately, since it's shorter, so I inserted a quaver rest and then copied and pasted the first note, then selected the rest and copied and pasted those.
In reply to Here is the original file as well by carinbasson
The last measure of your friend's file is actually corrupted. I don't know if you noticed but the last bar has a bar line after the end bar.
The workaround is to copy all but the last bar of from your friend's file and then recreate the last bar manually.
If you care to delve deeper into this bug the real question is how your friend created the corrupt file. If he has steps to reproduce the problem consistently then please don't hesitate to share.

I doubt he'll remember how he did it, it was quite a while ago. If it ever happens to me I'll post it here.
Was this ever solved?
Maybe it's this: #12588: Delete Selected Measures and dragging page causes crash
