Composer 2.6.3 Crashing on Play

[Sherry C]

Hi,

You've definitely been putting Composer through it's paces! That's a lot of work that you've done to a really complex file (which started out with no regard whatsoever to barlines nor time signatures) - well done!

Regarding the bug problem, thanks for including both "before" and "after" files - that should prove helpful in tracking down the problem(s). I've written it up and have both files on hand.

For your continued work, though, here's what I'd recommend trying.

1. Delete any staves that you no longer need. In other words, include only the staves that you want for further work.
2. Now use File/Export MIDI (rather than the typical "File/Save as") and give it an appended name to help you remember where you were in your work. This will export a .mid file of your work, and eliminate any "junk" that has been created in the .not file as part of the bug. I don't see any annotations or such, so you won't lose your already-done work, just the junk
3. Now reopen the saved .mid file and continue with that.

Thanks again for the report - this type of reporting helps us make things better!


ttfn,
Sherry
