Description
Issue type
File corruption
Description with steps to reproduce
- Create new score using treble clef template and set time signature to 3/4
- Add a half note and a quarter note to voice 1.
- Add a quarter note and a half note to voice 2.
- Now drag one measure onto the other with the mouse.
- Save the file. A corruption message will appear.
I think this needs to be fixed, no matter how dumb the reproduction steps may be.
Not a regression. The issue is present since 4.5.0 (when copy-paste by dragging feature was introduced)
