Project
1: Create a part of an unpitched percussion. (In my case, drumset)
2: Write some notes in
3: Drag and drop a "change instrument" text over a staff (later in the score)
4: Change it to any pitched instrument (In my case, glockenspiel)
5: Attempt to add notes to the staff (It will either fail to add or crash the program)
I will try to change to the clef to treble, but the clef will not change either.
A weird glitch I came across if you attempt to place notes through MIDI input, any note you place will be placed in the middle of the first staff line (treble clef F5 / bass clef A3)
Comments
Do you mean you are trying to change a staff from unpitched to pitched percussion? This is not supported indeed. But it shouldn't crash. If you have a case where it does, please attach the specific score in question and tell use more precisely how to reproduce the crash.
See #97416: Toggle between clefs of unpitched percussion and pitched percussion leads to a crash
