Description
Issue type
File corruption
Description with steps to reproduce
MuseScore 4.6:
1: load the attached score
2: In the trumpet part select the terminating dotted half-note (bar 78)
3: convert the dotted half-note (bar 78) to a half-note plus quarter note by clicking on the "dotted note" tool button
4: attempt to save the file. A popup dialog tells me that bar 78 is now corrupt: "Incomplete measure: Part score: Trompette en Si♭, measure 78, staff 1. Found: 10/8. Expected: 4/4."
