Musescore 0.9.6 crashes on startup (Windoze XP)
Because Musescore really slows up when using a big sound file, I changed to using a smaller one (which may have been faulty). Musescore instantly crashed. Now it won't run any more and I get the session ended unexpectedly window. It crashes either if I say yes or no to restore session.
This is what Visual studio reports:
Unhandled exception at 0x005f56fe in mscore.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x000000c0.
Not knowing where Musescore stores its session information I'm a bit stuck and the score is needed tomorrow.
Comments
A modicum of progress. I deleted the MuseScore.ini file which got me a bit further, but it now crashes when I try and load the score I was working on at the time. The default score works OK.
Can you attach the score?
I can open the score with 0.9.5, but the score is rubbish. Bar lines all over the place, spurious rests everywhere, text screwed up, semi-quavers turned into hemi-demi-semis. Help
MuseScore 0.9.5 can't open a score created in MuseScore 0.9.6.
The score has been created in MuseScore 0.9.6 in the first place?
Score attached
Find the fixed score attached. I will try to reproduce.
Apparently the problem is a selected key sig.
Bug reproduced. I file a bug report : #6287: MuseScore 0.9.6 crashes when opening a score with a keysig selected
I close this bug. If you encounter this type of problems and for support requests, it's better to use the forum and use the issue tracker for reproductible bugs.
Thanks. Briliant service. I thought I was using the forum, sorry. What did I do that caused the problem?

You're welcome ;) You can help MuseScore too ;)
You didn't do anything wrong, you just selected a key signature before saving and there is a bug in MuseScore 0.9.6.
