How do you fix a corruption
Hey, so I tried to post a piece, and It told me that there were corruptions in certain measures and certain staffs, where the program was looking for 4/4 time, but found 14/16 or 1/2 respectively. When I checked the specified staff\measure, I couldn't find the problem. Any ideas on what is wrong?

Mark down the errors, then view the score. Keep in mind that the measure number is off by one when you have a pickup measure. So in your case the measure is off by one, so 24 is now 23 and 67 is now 66. You will see in those measures that they are missing notes, a sign of corruption.

Simple go to the measure that has been indicated, Strg+F enter the measure number from the error message
And once you've found the measures, there are threre things worth trying:
- Select the measure(s), hit Delete (Mac: Fn+Delete) to clear the contents and replace with a full measure rest. There is a very good chance this won't work, and indeed might make it worse, but it's worth a shot. You can always clsoe and reload if it doesn't help.
- Click the first note or rest in the measure, change it to a whole note / rest by pressing "7" or clicking the whole note icon in the toolbar. Half note for 2/4, etc. This actually works more often than I'd expect. You'd have to do it for each staff/measure individually.
- Select the measure, Ctrl+Delete (Mac: Cmd+Fn+Delete) to remove the measure entirely. Sometimes the corrupt extents to the previous or next measure, so if you still have problems, try deleting from the measure before to the measure after. Then insert new measures and re-enter the music.
Ultimately, we'd love to know how the corruption happened, so if you find steps to reproduce it starting from scratch, that would be wonderful. Even just some basic thoughts about anything you might have been doing unusual in those measures could possibly help. Was this score created from scratch today using the RC build, or perhaps was it originally created in an earlier build? Would be nice to believe the corruption was caused by a bug that has already been fixed!
In your case, the second approach listed above seems to do the job for both of the problem measures. Actually, for staff 1 measure 23, just turn the final dotted quarter into a half, then back into a dotted qaurter, and all is well.
