That would easily explain the problem.  If the file you copied references a different version of the corpus, the last alignment region might well extend beyond the end of the new corpus – which would trigger this assertion.

Of course, most of the other alignment regions will be wrong, too, but CQP can't know that.

The only safe way of copying alignments is to cwb-align-export them into beads using ID references to sentences, and then cwb-align-import in the new corpus.  Or, if you cwb-align-imported them in the first place, simply go through the same steps for the new corpus.

I'm very happy to announce that CWB4/Ziggurat will not allow you to copy index files to a different corpus under any circumstances. :-)

Best,
