MuseScore 4 keeps crashing
As the title states, I've been having a problem with MuseScore 4 constantly crashing. This is what happens:
- I open MuseScore and load a score with Muse Sounds active.
- I hit Play on at least one instrument with Muse Sounds.
- The score plays for a few seconds, then the program crashes.
Running MuseScore in a terminal, I get this error when the crash occurs:

Anyone have any ideas?
Comments
Does this happen with any score? Are these scores native to MU4. What are your computer specs? Perhaps post a score that does this.
"- I hit Play on at least one instrument with Muse Sounds." What exactly does this mean?

Pardon me for not clarifying.
Please let me know if you need anything else clarified.

I think i have figured out my problem. One of my percussion lines glitched out with some random sounds and i think that caused a corrupted line of code in the file because when I start to after that part in the song i will play through the song with no issues. So tomorrow I will be rewriting the beginning chunk in a new file and see if that makes a difference. Also, when I try uploading the file to musescore the audio upload doesn't upload past that point then it crashes.

Have you tried a factory reset?

I did try a reset, but it didn't help. However, I was playing around with some other scores just now and discovered something: the crashes only happen on scores playing Muse Sounds instruments at very high speeds. For example, I have a piece set at dotted-quarter-note=120 BPM, and the score crashes every time I play it. But another piece I have set to quarter-note=80 plays just fine. Any thoughts?
I've had musescore crash on my so many times already and once the entirety of my song just vanished even though I had autosave on

For what it's worth. Once you get to the point of functional playback of your work-in-progress score, save it. Exit MuseScore program. With a file manager on your system, find that saved score, AND COPY IT to the same place, with a different name, i.e., "piano_french_horn.mscz" --> "piano_french_horn_safety1.mscz".
In researching to provide you some (possible) help here, these two links talk about this issue along with 'autosave'.

In the 2nd link, Marc Sabatella's comments are the most clear (to me). It may help to see "file manager" point-of-view. Though in Ubuntu Linux, I believe this applies significantly to macOS & Windows. My screen captures show Mu3 scores, but this still applies to Mu4.
See the ".mscbackup" folder in the 'Scores' folder. I've picked an arbitrary score "2ww_pno_num1.mscz". Note its last modification is 12-12-2022... Inside the ".mscbackup" folder is a similarly-named score ".2ww_pno_num1.mscz," which has a last modification of 12-4-2022. Thus, if the main score vanished, there is a backup score in a different location, albeit older.
Good luck.
