Description

Issue type

File corruption

Description with steps to reproduce

I created a file with monophonic chant, go it the way I wanted, and created a PDF (chantsGerman.pdf). When I reopened, it was corrupted. I fixed one measure, saved, and it became corrupted again. Some measures (1,6, and 8) are correct.

chantsGerman.zip

See forum post here. JoJo thought it might be due to deleting the time signature, but I did not. It was hidden in staff properties.

For context, these lines of chant will be inserted in between measures of polyphony that is metrical.
