preset tool palettes empty
Earlier today I reported issue with repeated crashes upon quitting application and the basic and advanced palettes empty upon starting program. After attempting to fix including restoring factory settings with no effect, I removed program and reinstalled. After a few hours, the basic tool palette is empty. Advanced palette is working normally. Again I tried restoring to factory settings. Basic Palette remains empty. Also, I can report that crashing upon quitting program occurred with regularity while USB connection to MIDI keyboard. Upon disconnecting USB. program does not crash when quitting. It is not clear what relationship is, if any, of USB keyboard connection to MacBook to Musescore crashing. I am using MacBook Touch Bar. OS Mojave 10.14.3

Update. removed program for 2nd time today and reinstalled. The advanced palette presets disappeared immediately after creating a shortcut "option F" for "add fingering". Nothing I'm trying will bring it back.

Update....and now after program is left open for a few minutes and not even used, both basic and advanced palettes are empty!
Continued from #283716: Basic and Advanced Palettes are empty
This seems likely to be a permissions problem on your system then, since no one else seems to see this, and tht's the only thing I can think of that could explain what seems to be happening.

thanks, Marc. I hope there's nothing critical corrupted on my MacBook. I'm going to run "first aid" with disk utility and see what comes up and check permissions. Do you know of anything I should be looking for?
I'm guessing it may turn out that the program was installed as a different user than the one you are currently logged in as, something like that. I'm not a mac expert s I can't tell you exactly what to look for.

I am the only user of my machine....I've now removed and installed 4 or 5 times. Same issues. I might end up taking my macbook to apple store...However, Musescore is the only program acting up like this. Maybe it is interacting with some other program that is installed or running in background....don't know.

I have the same Problem.- during first launch i choosed the extended palette in the launch Assistant. After that i wanted to change to the standard palette- but it was empty. By the way - also my system crashes when using the "toggle midi button" (but i guess this should been handled under different issue..)
Attached the failure log..

Gömmer: yes, exactly my experience with both the palettes and crashes. when I'm connected MIDI keyboard and I close program I get the crash report. If I haven't had the keyboard connected, I don't get the crash

Gömmer. I'm curious...Do you have Ableton Live or a Version of Pro Tools installed on your Mac? Those are the two programs I can remember installing lately before I installed Musescore 3. I've been wondering if there might be some kind of conflict going on. Not sure why that would be the case, but I'm not a coder...

Do not have either installed. Went back to MuseScore 2 so I could work.
Is everyone experiencing this on macOS? And are you perhaps also seeing a crash every time you close MuseScore? And do you perhaps have a MIDI device? Wondering if these things are all related. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/4716. I could imagine a crash on close messing with the palettes if it occurred at just the wrong moment.
In reply to Is everyone experiencing… by Marc Sabatella
Mojave OS 10.14.3. The “empty palette” and the “crash upon closing” issues seem like they are unrelated but I have no expertise to determine that. I experienced the empty palettes from the get go, regardless of being connected or not to MIDI. However the MIDI connection and crashing upon closing do correlate. At this point I may just go back to version 2.xx until issues are resolved. My basic palette is permanently empty. Advanced palette seems stable for now but I’ve already experienced both palettes being empty before my most recent reinstall.
2nd to last update of few days ago (sorry I don’t have ver. #) seems to have fixed (inadvertently?) the missing palettes issue! Palettes also are retained in The most recent update which I installed yesterday. I’ll know more once I make MIDI connection. Headed in right direction.

I’m impressed. There’s a bazillion reports of MuseScore crashing on opening (including mine) after the latest update. What are you doing differently from everyone else?
What system are you running?
Thanks!

The workaround listed in those reports is opening by double-clicking a score in your file browser. Then you can disable the Start Center and start normally after that as well.

Mojave 10.14.3. I did have that crash problem---See Marc's comment. That workaround fixed the issue for me.

I’m missing something here. Even if I try to open by double-clicking another file (all of mine are MuseScore 2 since I’ve been unable to use MuseScore 3), I still get the crash. It doesn’t even get as far as the weird little square window in the upper right-hand corner that I get if I open MuseScore by opening the app. Tried with 3 different MuseScore 2 files in case one was corrupted.
@badflautist, you are not the first to report they cannot run 3.0.4 by double clicking a file. Run MuseScore3 from the command line with the -w command lne option and see if that helps. If it does run, change what displays at start up in the preferences to anything but the start center.

Thanks for the comment and the reassurance.
You lost me completely after “from the command line”. I have a vague idea what that is but I think it’s a Windows thing.
MacOS Mojave, 10.1.2
macOS has command line capability too; I'm sure Google would be happy to find information about how to do that. But if you're seeing a crash even when you open by double-clicking a score, that might be a different problem.

@Marc, as a related side note. I've seen instructions somewhere for running MuseScore from the command line in various OS's, I just can't find them. I think it would be useful to have a how to or handbook entry explaining this so us non-Mac users can point others to the help.

Thanks. I am in no hurry and happy to wait until this issue is repaired. MuseScore 2 works for the time being.
Today I was excited that some users had success and tried to jump back in (without success). No worries!

Thank you for the link to the very clear and detailed instructions. It seems to have worked some magic!
hi,
i upgraded to OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.3.1.8837, revision: 824af4c and all of a sudden the palette buttons are gone. i've tried resetting to factory settings and re-installing. i read this thread but could not glean a clean solution. any one able to help? thanks.
Your problem is different and a bug introduced in 3.3.1. See #297017: No palette available in MuseScore 3.3.1.8837 (Windows).
If this issue is about some permission errors on some computers and didn't come up for a while then it might eventually be fixed. That needs investigation but right now it doesn't look like a critical and frequent issue, so I downgrade the priority for this.

Happens on Linux, installed from MuseScore-3.5.tar.gz, revert to factory settings does not help.
Not sure what MuseScore-3.5.tar.gz refers to, is that source you compiled yourself? Probably an issue with your build environment if so, like wrong version of Qt or a missing component etc. Try the AppImage instead.
I got MuseScore-3.5.tar.gz from https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/releases/tag/v3.5
The last time I tried the AppImage it was either too slow or it crashed, I have not attempted to debug what was wrong with it.
I was able to compile and install a debug version from a github clone using a checkout of the v3.5 tag and I get these errors when I run musescore:
$ musescore-43c5553

libpng error: Read Error
On my system I have:
libqt5quick5 is already the newest version (5.12.8-0ubuntu1).
Ok, so additional libraries need to be installed:
sudo apt-get install qml-module-qtquick-controls2
But that just brings me to the next Qt error:
qrc:/qml/palettes/PalettesWidget.qml:unknown: qrc:/qml/palettes/PalettesWidget.qml:70:5: Type PaletteTree unavailable
qrc:/qml/palettes/PaletteTree.qml:unknown: qrc:/qml/palettes/PaletteTree.qml:22:1: module "QtQml.Models" is not instal
And this error:
qrc:/qml/palettes/PaletteTree.qml:unknown: qrc:/qml/palettes/PaletteTree.qml:22:1: module "QtQml.Models" is not instal
Is solved by:
sudo apt-get install qml-module-qtqml-models2
These appear to be runtime dependencies to me, since I had no problem compiling musescore at the 3.5 tag.
Did you follow all the steps in the developer handbook for compiling on your flavor of Linux?
It's certainly not impossible that you would be able to get a successful build with all the dependencies correct. but I guarantee, if you're not a developer needing to be able to compile it yourself, the AppImage is going to be far easier and far more reliable. Not sure what problem you encountered in the past, but it's worth trying again, it's what most of us on Linux use daily and it's well tested and solid. If you encounter a problem with it, feel free to report that separately.
My only problem is the 'text' palette. It is empty, while all the others seem to be fine.
That's odd, maybe you accicentally deleted the contents of the palette? Try right-clicking the title bar and then choosing "Reset Palette". Also be sure you haven't made the palettes window too narrow to display the text!
If you continue to have trouble, please ask for help on the Sup[ort forum, and include a screenshot so we can understand better what you are seeing.
