Album switches staves
I know that there have been some reports concerning staves in albums before, but I couldn't find this exact one.
I made an album from several scores, all of which had the same instrument staves. But in the album, two instrument parts were switched. The attachments illustrate this. staffexample2.jpg shows the orgininal score; staffexample1 the album. As can be seen, in the album, the cello part is suddenly assigned to the bassoon -- that is, the notes the cello should be playing are played by the bassoon. I didn't edit the album version at all after creating it. Does this have something to do with the pizz.? Is there any way to prevent it?

It's always easier to help given the actual scores and precise steps to reproduce the problem - not much to be said from just pictures. I can only guess that maybe the first score had a bassoon in that position. All scores in the album will use the same staff assignments as the first score.

Another data point: I tried as a test making an album with just the score bellequinew.mscz, and the switch didn't happen.
I'm running Musescore 2.0.2 on W10.
The precise steps for what I submitted above were that I just used album to make an album of the two scores tantequenew.mcsz and bellequinew.mscz. I attach the former in case it's useful, the latter is attached to my previous post.

Ah, I see, in the 2 scores you do indeed have swapped bassoon and violoncello. And in an Album you need to have the same number of instruments and staves in the same order

Right, thanks -- I didn't see that at all. It's the old syndrome that if you look at something too much you stop noticing what's in it. I'll coordinate the scores in their order of instruments and try again.
I used pictures because the album was quite long. But as a test, I made another album with joining just the first two scores of the original album, and the same thing happened: if you compare measure 65 on page 8 of bellequinew.mscz (the original independent score) with measure 65 page 28 of staveexample.mscz (generated from staveexample.album,) you can see the switch.

I don't see it, sorry. Just a pizz at the basson staff (but in both files), doesn't make much sense, does it?

Well, as I said: the first score in the album has a cello as the sixth staff, so that becomes the case fort the whole album. An album is supposed to join scores of the same basic instrument layout. There is no facility aside from the usual Instrument Change element in the Text palette for a single staff changing from cello to bassoon mid-way through a single score - and a joined album is just a single score.
