Loading triplet problem

• Jul 2, 2010 - 12:47

Hey,
sorry to post two questions in such quick succession, but upon reloading a score, I've found a huge number of the quaver triplets that I once had have somehow managed to change into normal quavers and I don't even know what's happened here but the entire piece is now completely screwed up and I have no idea how to fix it other than going through it note for note and changing it back.

Here's an image of what it's done: http://img526.imageshack.us/i/asdfyd.png/

My apologies, I have already rewritten that section of the score so I no longer have a copy of the problem itself. Yes I created it from scratch using 0.9.6. The steps were that I wrote out the triplet section, closed the score, reopened it and it was fine, then copied the triplet section from violin to flute and oboe then closed the score. Upon reopening oboe, violin 1, violin 2, flute and viola all had problems with the triplets.

Ah ok thank you. Yes I have further information on a similar bug or at least something else that copying triplets seems to do. Upon copying several 2/4 bars of triplets to 4/4 bars causes a problem. The number of beats per bar is fine, however, on the 5th bar of 4/4 containing copied triplets from a 2/4 bar counts beats incorrectly in the Play Panel counts through 2 beats of a 4/4 bar, then on the final beats (3 and 4) counts them as 1 and 2 so that in the remaining 4/4 bars the beats are aligned incorrectly:

Actual Beat: 1 2 3 4
Play Panel: 3 4 1 2

This then causes a problem at the end of the score where 2 beats seem to have dissapeared causing odd problems with bars that contain no beats in them at all and others which will only hold 2 beats.

Hope this helps.

Hi. I'm having some problems with triplets as well that I like to report. I'm using Musescore 0.9.6. on Ubuntu 10.04. (Please excuse me in advance for a rather long post but I'll try to remember as much steps as I can). Yesterday I transcribed the violin line from Bach's famous choral from cantata 147. Since I couldn't make the violin line a 9/8 time sig. and the rest in 3/4, I wrote it all in 3/4 with the violin part in triplets. Everything went fine, writing some, copy/pasting some (I found this thread about the copy/paste problems, so...) until I finished and today re-opened the file. In two places of the violin part, the triplets appear as 8ths with and extra "section" of a bar after it. (Pic. No. 1). I deleted, re-wrote and so and so (can't remember all the steps, sorry, after trial and error). Then, and extra barline appeared (pic. No. 2). When trying to delete, it added even more lines. (Pic no. 3) and all of these seem to be a part of the same bar. (Pic. No. 4). After hitting delete to one of those lines, more lines appear. Pic. No. 5 shows the bar after two del. pressings. Pic. No. 1 shows the second part in which the problem occured, the rest are from the first part, since I couldn't re-create the problem and neither could I fix the second part. The problem appears too when I create the violin part and try to fix it.

Thank you very much.

jmserranog, It looks like the measure has become corrupt. It is possible to remove a corrupt measure by selecting all the measures after it, copying them, deleting the corrupt measure via Edit > Delete Selected Measures. The last step usually deletes the corrupt measure and all the measures following it. If this is the case then add the measures back and paste the contents you copied from earlier. The only section you should need to rewrite is the corrupt measure.

Be sure to make a backup copy of the file before you try to change it. If you get stuck feel free to attach the file to a post on this forum. And as always, if you discover a series of steps that causes a measure to become corrupt please share those steps on the forum so that others can reproduce the problem and fix it.
