Score disappeared
r2451
I don't know what happened.
I had written out almost all of a lead sheet for The Song is You. All that remained was to add more of the changes. I had resized the page to fit the score properly. I had saved numerous times.
As I was closing another program, my computer froze, and after trying everything else I had to do a hard reboot. Ctrl-Alt-Del had had no effect.
I reloaded MS and the file for the song didn't load???
I found it and tried to load it but nothing comes up but the tab where it shouls be.
I tried loading the backup copy, but no go.
Can you read these?
Thanks.

i think r2451 has a bug saving style changes which was fixed some time ago.
Attached a fixed version of your file.

Now another one has also done this. It's attached. Can you please fix this as well?
I un-installed 2451 and re-installed it. No Joy.

Steps to fix files with this problem:
(Update: attached is the corrected file. I uploaded the wrong one initially.)

I don't understand.
I changed the file name to .zip
I unpacked it.
I tried to load the file (.mscx) and was given a line number.
I opened the file in notepad++ and deleted the offending line and saved it.
When I then tried to open it in MS, i was given another error with a different line.??
Also, just so I understand, basically the jazzchord font is not available in the latest prerelease?
Thanks

Please attach the .mscx file you edited.

You need to remove line 13 as the warning says. Not sure which line you removed the first time. The file opens in MuseScore after you remove the contents of line 13.
This problem will happen every time you set to jazzchord in prerelease r. 2451.
In reply to You need to remove line 13 as by David Bolton
I removed line 10 as instructed.
I now removed line 13 and it opened.

The Song Is You, fixed version does not load???
In reply to Fixed version by xavierjazz
Are you sure you tried the right file? The fixed one has the file extension *.mscx.
Here is the bug report that contains more details: http://www.musescore.org/en/node/3800
The bug happens whenever you go to Edit > Edit General Style > Chordname and switch to jazzchords.xml. As Werner stated, this is a bug in r.2451. Reinstalling does not fix the problem.
In reply to Here is the bug report that by David Bolton
Thanks for all.

I have discovered that it also happens when you go to Text style and try to change the font size.
Regards.
EDIT: with these 2 things changed, the font size and the jazzchords, even when I follow the instructions for recovery and remove the offending line, MS still opens a blank score.
I attach the file renamed zip for you inspection.
Thanks.
EDIT: It may be germane that I altered the size 1st.

The file is indeed empty. I opened the mscx file with a text editor and there is no note or instrument information in the file. Could you post the backup copy as well? (the one that starts with a dot and ends with a comma).
Did your score have any music at one point? If it did then please see if you can reproduce the bug using the sames steps on a new file.
In reply to The file is indeed empty. I by David Bolton
The only unusual thing I did was as stated, changed the size of the font first and then changed to jazzchords.
This is the backup copy, renamed. After I send it to you, I am going to try and open it.

When I tried to open it, it came up with a blank score again. No error message.
In reply to When I by xavierjazz
I had made another score and I guess I hadn't closed MS before starting it. I made no alterations to it in terms of fonts, and it seemed to save and be there okay. However, after MS crashed after trying this file. with the snare tuplets problem, I rebooted MS and that 2nd score was also gone. http://musescore.org/node/4001
So, once those changes have been made, all the next scores also seem to be affected.

The file was also corrupted but fixable (attached *.mscx version)
In reply to recovered version by [DELETED] 3
Thank you. Is this one recoverable also?
