Dear Forum, Please see attachment pg. 20, strings Vl,. 1,2 and Violas do not line up with the Vcs and CBasses. I tried deleting the violins and vlas measures and re -entering the notes there, but it did no good.I don't recall ever seeing this before in MS. What can be done? MS does show corruptions in measures 103-4 if this has anything to do with it. (I was carefully counting 16th and 32nd notes a lot, septuplets and 32nd note triplets, etc. Thought everything was OK.I may have missed something.)

There has been a revival of discussion of this bug recently here: https://musescore.org/en/node/201746

There are known issues with tuplets causing corruptions. The weird thing about yours is that I can't eliminate it. See my version of your score. This is the result of exchanging voices one and two twice, which normally gives you a measure with no corruption, as you can see, the corruption is still there.

Looking at your original measure there is a 32nd beat missing. I re-entered measure 103 exactly as it looks in your score and got this m103.png

I had no such problems when I entered the cello and double bass in measure 104. I re-entered measure 104 after deleting your original and after I did the voice exchanges and these parts had no corruption. See my version of your score.

I looked at your version of my score and it looks good too, and no corruptions. So i should go with your version. So how can I do that? Download yours and rename it mike320-Hudson version of the score? I am sure it was the tuplets that corrupted stuff. Thanks, del

Yes, you should use the version with the repaired measures.

By the way what I've done for example in measure 103 for violins:

I reentered the rhythm (for my own clearness;):

For the 7-tole I choosed a quarter duration, for the triplet a dotted 16th duration.

Same or similar approach I've done for the other corrupted measures.

I was wondering what you meant for other corrupted measures? There weren't any that I know of. You did not change other things in the score besides pg. 20 Ms 103-4 did you? I need to know since I AM using your version now as the score. (kuwitt-Hudson version corrutptions fixed,I named the file.) I need to be sure the score is exactly as I had it except for the 2 measures you repaired. Please inform.( I did go ahead and added the dynamics and articulations._ Thanks!

OK, fine. Thanks for letting me know. An orchestra in CO is going to play this score, and I have to be careful. (The world premier of this score already happened years ago, and it was done from my handwritten score/parts.) I am just entering that score into MS now, I appreciate your help on this! del
