• A minor help request, towards debugging Musescore

    From Joel Polowin@jpolowin@sympatico.ca to rec.music.filk,rec.music.folk on Fri Jan 6 01:37:38 2023
    From Newsgroup: rec.music.filk

    There's a bug in Musescore's web interface that I'm seeing quite
    consistently, which their developers seem not to be able to reproduce.
    I have several scores on their server which are quite short but which
    feature many repeats, resulting in a fairly long play duration.
    (They're Shepard tones, done as scales.) That duration is shown at the
    top left of the score, as displayed in a web browser, and should be
    3:19:48. But every browser I've tried, with a variety of setup options,
    on two machines at home and on one at my library, shows it as 27:19:48
    -- that is, an extra day tacked on. The pieces are monotonous, but not
    that monotonous..!

    If you wouldn't mind, would you please take a look at: https://musescore.com/user/28554317/scores/9087566, and let me know what duration you see just above the upper left corner of the score? (At the library, I had to expand the page to "full screen" mode with a button at
    the top left in order to see the duration display. I don't know why
    that was different from my machines at home; it may be a matter of
    screen resolution.) It might also be useful to me to know what
    operating system and browser you used.

    Thanks!
    Joel

    The bug is affected by the OS time zone. If I set my machine's time
    zone to, say, Buenos Aires (UTC-03:00), the duration is displayed
    correctly. If I set it to Atlantic time (UTC-04:00), the duration is
    off by 24 hours. And if I change to Newfoundland time (UTC-03:30), the display is veryrCi messed up -- at the beginning of the piece, the
    displayed time is ".5:30:00 / .5:49:48". I haven't tested rigorously,
    but broadly speaking, time zones east of UTC-03:00 give correct
    displays, while zones west of UTC-04:00 show the bug.

    I'm guessing that the problem involves the duration of the piece
    relative to one's time zone offset from UTC. A piece that's 1:00:00 in duration displays correctly in UTC-01:00, but shows as 25:00:00 in
    UTC-02:00.
