Repeatable example of instrument track show/hide crash

• Dec 15, 2022 - 18:24

I believe this repeatable example is related to Github issue https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/14546

It relates to the trouble in hiding or viewing instrument tracks in large scores with MS4. Attached is a copy of the Poet/Peasant overture which contains 27 instrument parts over 414 measures.
I have discovered this problem is aggravated when using the “Continuous View” mode and most manageable when using “Page View”.

Case #1.
Open the attached score in Page View mode and bring up the instrument panel. Hide the first instrument in the list. My system takes about 7 seconds to do this.

One at a time, hide additional instruments. YOU MUST WAIT for each track to complete the hide. Queuing quickly overloads the program and may hang MuseScore forever. Each hide or show takes about the same amount of time.

Case #2.
Open the score in Continuous View and repeat the same procedure as described in Case #1. Each hide or reveal now takes about twice as long. Regardless how carefully I hide each track, my attempt at hiding the fifth instrument track hangs MuseScore forever.

For now, limiting track selection in Page view is tolerable.
