it is a Galaxy Tab A (2016) with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB hd (or SSD?) running Android 8.1.
So the LC Android engine is a bit RAM "hungry"? Or are the new widgets like PolyGrid? 

Strange, I have another LC app installed on my Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) cell phone 
with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB HD which never ever crashed or hung in the last year?

Android will not allow you to do that for required apps so if the buttons are enabled then it's safe. Most devices come with a lot of bloatware that runs in the background and uses memory. Widgets are especially bad at that.

I already disabled and deleted everything that could be disabled and deleted, since I 
exclusivley (sic!) use the tablet to display sheet music. Therefore I really wonder 
why this does not happen more often?

Will try to check the "logcat", when this will happen the next time.
Thanks for all hints so far.
