Then, with the project closed, go ahead and just remove the entire ProjectNotes folder from the .scriv folder. Scrivener will recreate it when you next open and close the project, and you can see if that clean copy is then working properly. This of course will lose your current project notes, but it sounds like you didn't have any real ones, just the one you tried to add that didn't show up?

Prior to this beta, there was only one *project* note area, so when you say different sections, do you mean you have different *document* notes? (In the inspector, the notes area will say either "Document Notes" or "Project Notes"; you can click the header to toggle between them.) Those are stored elsewhere (in the Docs folder) and won't be effected at all by removing the ProjectNotes folder.
If you do have project notes and they're showing up in Scrivener, I'd copy and paste them from the Project Notes area to a document in the project or to an external file, then close the project, remove the ProjectNotes folder, reopen the project, and paste the notes back into the project notes area. The Project Notes files will be recreated in this process while still saving all your text.

Re: PS1, yes, in this case it would be normal normal not to have the files within the ProjectNotes folder until you created a project note. Once you add text to the General project note, even if you delete that later, the index.xml and Note-10.rtf files will remain in the ProjectNotes folder. Normally they're from project creation, but since you wiped the folder it took creating a note to generate the contents.
Just to be clear, this is only happening for the one project of yours, yes? Other older projects are loading fine?
Assuming it's just this one project, here's a new test: Make a copy of the project folder (when the project is closed) and give it a distinct name, then wipe the contents of the Files\Docs folder. Try opening that copy in Scrivener. If it gives you the same error, close it and then zip the project folder and attach it here (or send it to windows.support AT literatureandlatte DOT com if you'd rather, ATTN: Jennifer and with a link back to this thread if you don't mind). None of your writing or research files will be included--that was all in the Docs folder that got wiped (all your document notes were there too, as noted earlier)--so the project size should be small enough to send and won't contain any of your actual WIP. But this will let us take a look at the rest of the structural files in the project and run it through some tests to hopefully figure out what's causing this error.
If you wipe the Docs folder and then *don't* get the error when opening the project, there's no need to send it on, but let us know it happened, as it's another piece of the puzzle. Thanks!

I've just emailed a reply--you caught a little bug with the error reporting.It's not the project notes index.xml that's corrupted but the templateinfo.xml in the Settings folder; you can safely trash that file and the project will open without issue.
Next release will have more accurate error reports!

It gets stuck in an earlier line, not where where I actually am, which is disconcerting

Thanks, a few other users reported this also and we have it fixed for the next release. It happens when dragging and dropping in a text area.

Touché. What were you doing just before it got stuck, and did it ever get un-stuck or did you have to reopen the project?
