Delete Selected Range Not Working
When I select a measure and press ⌘+Delete, the measure isn't being deleted. It's just in that particular score; in other scores, it works perfectly fine.

Please attach the score and specify what measure and how exactly you are attempting to delete it.

Also, consider closing and restarting MuseScore. For some reason no one understands, this command seems to diable itself occasionally, and especially so on macOS. Restarting always fixes it in these cases. Your case might be different since you say it works for other scores.

Actually, in year since this thread was started, we have now figured out the cause: it’s an undocumented and broken special command that people must be accidentally giving. The shortcut is Ctrl+I (Max: Cmd+I) so probably people do this accidentally in an effort to italicize something, but that only works in text edit mode. In any other mode, it triggers a special command that doesn’t actually work, but has the side effect of disabling the remote selected range command. So the solution if you accidentally press Cmd+I in the future, just press it again to disable the broken special command.

Issue occurred on Windows. Ctrl+I fixed it.
Thank you!

On my system. [Ctrl]-I toggles Insert mode for note input. Not sure if that's by default or not.

It is, but that command is not a real command - it was an experiment never completed that does nothing useful, and has the side effect of breaking the delete range command.

Mine too. Which answers the question I posted in another thread about how people accidentally get into insert mode.
And once I'm in insert mode for note input, Ctrl+Delete does not necessarily delete the entire measure. If a note or rest is selected, Ctrl+Delete deletes the selected note and reduces the size of the measure by that much: as if I had gone into the Measure Properties dialog and changed the measure size by the duration of the selected note/rest. Only if the selected note/rest lasts the entire duration of the measure then the entire measure is deleted.
