User objects issues

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been having user object issues.

For example today, I'm working on a new song and tried to enter the User Object "VerseNumber.ms" I get a little triangle next to the first note, but no verse numbers. I'm including a clip of what shows on the edit page, and the alert log.

As you can see, the log shows more errors than just the verse numbers. It is also happening with Que heads.

I am not sure what "Execution limit exceeded" means.

How did you try to enter the object (key strokes please)?  Nothing in your screen shot looks correct for a user object.
I plays 'Bones, crumpets, coronets, floosgals, youfonymums 'n tubies.

The error message containing "execution limit exceeded" mentions CueHeads.ms, but I see that VerseNumber.ms is also being suspended. Are you using both objects in your score?

An execution limit exceeded message usually means that a plugin has gone into an infinite loop and is tying up system resources. NWC automatically detects this and will suspect an object if/when this happens. It could mean a bug in the user object code, or it could be a corrupted score. Or maybe both. (I have tried to write my objects to account for error conditions and exit if they can't find notation to act upon, but I might have missed a condition or two.)

If you are able to share a copy of the score that is generating this error, please send me a private message, and I'll give you an email address so you can forward the score.
