  1. NEW score, guitar + tablature.
  2. EDIT string data for tablature staff: C2G2C3G3C4E4
  3. Copy the melody from the treble clef of the attached file, paste it into the top staff of the new guitar+tablature.
  4. Delete the first d in either the treble clef or the tab, enter in back in on either staff, crash results.
    4b. When I just tried it, no crash (after 3 sequential crashes, but it won't go on the correct string.
  5. Note that the d can not be put on the correct string, 2nd fret, 2nd string.

"5. Note that the d can not be put on the correct string, 2nd fret, 2nd string."

Simply because you checked the second string as open D - see image below.

This is another manifestation of the misunderstanding of this function in String Data. It's a duplicate so see the details in the report of this issue: #321767: Delete/rename/move/clarify the "Open" column of "String Data"

For your score, just uncheck this box of the second open string, and the problem goes away. See: 1Sleeping_Lulu_in_Open_C_Tuning.mscz

I can reproduce (in MuseScore 3.6.2 on Wondows 10) if, and only if in the new score I also use that (bogus!) open string (matching the settings from the score attached to the initial post), that step is missing from the inital post.

I can't reproduce in a 3.6.2 debug build either, so whatever the issue is, it probaby is not fixed, but sort of a Heisenbug (vanshishes when watching)
