Crash when try to open a v3.5 score in v3.6

PedroCuadra commented 3 years ago

Hello everyone.

First of all, I'm not a developer of Musescore. I give my solution while this bug is active.

Recently, I tried to open a few Musescore 3.5 files, some of them crashed, some of them opened correcty. Here is my solution, for now:

Make sure your last session is not restored.

If you have a `.mscz` score or "Compressed musescore file":

Open the file with 7zip or Winrar or any other zipfile viewer.
Extract the *.mscx score to wherever you want. follow the next steps

If you have a `.mscx` score or "Uncompressed musescore file":

At this step if I tried to open the file with Musescore it would crash again.

Open the file with a text editor, like notepad or Visual Studio Code.
Your score is going to be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<museScore version="3.01">
<programVersion>3.5.2</programVersion>
<programRevision>465e7b6</programRevision>
<Score>
<layoutMode>line</layoutMode>
<LayerTag id="0" tag="default"></LayerTag>
<currentLayer>0</currentLayer>
<Division>480</Division>
...

Change

<layoutMode>line</layoutMode>

to

<layoutMode>page</layoutMode>

Save the file and voilà, the file can be opened with Musescore

For the record, this is a known bug and that's a known workaround. Fix will be in 3.6.1. In the future, please use the Support forum for discussions - we don't use GitHub for this.
