Just had a crash while I was trying to select a soloist.
MC25 log and MacOS crash report are attached.
Hope this helps in figuring out what went wrong
cheers

The last file that MC saw, right before it crashed, was this one:
/Users/HW/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Downloads/Music/Hummel_ Bassoon Concerto Clarinet Quartet/Tk06 Johann Nepomuk Hummel Clarinet Quartet in E flat major WoO 5 S78 I Allegro moderato.m4a
I believe it was trying to do "analyze audio" on that file. It's fairly common for MC to crash if it finds a corrupted audio file and tries to analyze it.
You could try moving that file to another directory, where MC can not see it, and see what happens.
But I also notice that folder has a funny name "Mobile Data" and has unusual path names which imply that maybe it's not exactly a local file. Like maybe it's a replica of a file "in the cloud" or something. If it just wasn't fully available or something, that might have done it.
Generally speaking, I think it's a bad idea to import files into MC that are "in the cloud". There's no rule against it or anything. This is just my personal opinion.
Good luck.
Brian.

Thanks Brian,
I had downloaded this file (and others from a complete album I bought) to my iCloud Drive and then imported from there. I was editing the track when it happened. Most likely reason, as you said, was that the connection to the iCloud Drive was offline for a bit and the file was unavailable. I have since moved the file to my NAS where all my files normally reside and no more problem.
Appreciate your help!
Hans
