Open Volta 3 causes Musescore to crash when play is pressed
Dear MuseScore Support Team,
I was exploring the repeat functions of the MuseScore software (v3.6.2) and MuseScore began crashing whenever I pressed play.
I've been looking through the Musescore handbook and some of the posts about issues with MuseScore's software with regards to illegal repeat segments, however, I've mangaged to narrow down the source of my problem, which is actually unrelated (as far as I know) to incorrect repeat list entries, hence I thought I'd create a new post.
In the below 'Fantasy Life Medley (oca.)' file, when volta 3 (in red) of measure 22 of 'Elderwood' on page 6 is set to 'none' for 'end hook' under 'line text details' in the Inspector, playing the score results in the software crashing. Setting 'end hook' to 90 degrees however allows the score to play without error. Originally I believed the issue lied with 'Seaside Town Port Puerto' on page 5, except the volta 3 in measure 4 does not cause MuseScore to crash even when end hook is set to none, even despite the presence of a D.C. in measure 9 which I thought would be causing the problems from what I could gather from other discussions.
And yet, pasting Elderwood into a second score: '3rd Volta Open Crash Test' had volta 3 of measure 22's end hook set to 'none' without resulting in MuseScore crashing.
As a result, the evidence is conflicting as to what's going on. I accept MuseScore may be facing an overload of repeat commands, hence why the Crash test of Elderwood by itself tested no error. However I thought it worth inquiring.
I can still work around this and just set the volta in question to closed, even if this doesn't quite fit the music's segmentation.
Let me know what you think, when you get a chance.
Kind regards,
Mystical Wayfarer

Both of your files play fine in Musescore 3.7 Evolution. If your sticking with v3 it has loads of bug fixes over 3.6.2, might be worth an upgrade.
