Musescore 4 Constantly Not Responding

• Dec 18, 2022 - 02:22

I load a score, perform an action, not responding for about 2 minutes. Perform another 3 or so actions, not responding for another couple minutes. Is this just a bug?

Edit: It also freezes every time I use the scroll wheel and every time I save D:

I was getting "musescore 4 not responding" when requesting to save or save as a file. Then started getting it after launching musecore 4.0.2 and selecting any item on the menu. I have tried the repair option from musecore download for 64 bit windows (win 10) but the error persists even if after the repair I do a cold windows boot. Sometimes if I take a break for an hour or two it will finally respond, but life's too short for that.
Only thing i can think of now is to uninstall completely then reinstall musescore 4.

I'm having similar issues too. instead of freezing for minutes, its five seconds or so; but it gets very annoying when it happens after just 1 or 2 actions.

If we look at the image in the OP, this person is working on a part and not the score. Never a safe idea. Don't worry about parts until the score is finished.
But in general, not responding could mean a corruption of some kind.

The same thing happens to me, but I found out it's my computer. Musescore 4 needs at least 16GB of RAM and a good processor to run smoothly.

Ever 8GB doesn't work very well. There are ways to make small improvements, like pressing [CTRL][ALT][DEL] ==> Task Manager ==> Closing out background Google / Edge tasks, being careful to use the "Style" menu BEFORE your score becomes big and complex, and having good old fashioned patience.
