Summary0007241: Freeze/Crash when trying to convert/open session created in Ardour 4.6.0
DescriptionAs expected Ardour noticed the old session file format, backed up the file to <session_name>-3001.ardour and tried to alter/update/open the session. At this point Ardour shows the splash screen then gets to show an empty edit window, with transport and menus etc... nothing will respond to mouse clicks. This must be force closed.

Starting using the Alsa backend gives an Ardour error message: "Programming Error, no tempo section in tempo map".

The same installation will create and open new sessions correctly with no issues.
Steps To ReproduceTry opening the old session with Ardour 5.6.0,
Additional InformationIt seems that opening with Jack enabled causes a freeze, opening with the alsa back end causes 2 fatal programming error alerts which when dismissed in the correct order causes the program to exit cleanly.
TagsNo tags attached.

it appears that the initial tempo section is missing from the file.
what is the initial tempo when you open this in 4.x?

Thanks nick_m - I opened the session perfectly with the nightly build. I saved the session and it now also opens with the release version 5.6.0.

---
The tempo shown on the 4.x version was 269 bpm. I think it got messed up due to the history of this session. The session for this song came from a copy very long tracking session which then used the remove time feature to cut it down to one song.

I'm not sure if the remove time function needs to be looked at as far as handling tempo is concerned ... I realise A LOT of work was gone into the tempo handling since 4.x

I'll have a poke around the areas I'm suspicious of using the latest version and see if I can get it to break and open a new bug if I can find an issue.

I can confirm the attached Session now opens without crash/freeze with the 5.8 release. Marking as resolved
