Help me . . . hel-l-l-l-p me-e-e-e-e . . .
MuseScore is not liking my piece (clowns and carousels), and I have no way to edit it.
I can't download MuseScore2 because I'm using XP.
It also says "fix issues" when I can't upload the score.
What'n do? Clowns and Carousels.mscz Clowns and Carousels.mscz

Repaired, this 1.3 file. Replace the time signature 6/8 vs. 9/8, or remove it, solves the problem. AB Clowns and Carousels.mscz
Otherwise, do an update. MuseScore supports XP.

Thanks very much! My version of Musescore can't open it, but I'll see if I can post it.
It kinda sorta works on my computer, but has lots of issues. Plus I can't upgrade. MuseScore2 won't run at all.
I really should break down and buy a new computer . . .

"It kinda sorta works on my computer, but has lots of issues"
What sort of issues, by trying to be precise for each one?
"I can't upgrade. MuseScore2 won't run at all."
Have you try the portable versions? https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/MuseScore%20Portabl…
"and buy a new computer . . ."
Maybe a good idea for Chritmas! :)
EDIT: What version of MuseScore do you use currently? Your first attached file opens normally with the 1.3 version. This one: Clowns and Carousels.mscz So, where is the problem exactly?

It opens with 1.3, because that doesn't report corruptions, but MuseScore.com and MuseScore 2.0 do.

Yes, I know of course.

It's an old version. The version I have seems to be read-only. If there are any editing features, I can't find them.
Portable versions? As in thumb-zombie gadgets? I don't have so much as a cell phone.
When I try to upload most of my files, I get a big red square block of corrupt file gibberish. I'm not exactly computer-savvy, so trying to make sense of it is a non-starter.

What is an old version and what is read-only?
MuseScore 1.3 is indeed old, but for sure not read-only
The portable version of 2.x won't help you much, if you can't get the non-portable 2.0 running, if that is because your computer is too old to support SSE2.
They don't have anything to do with a cell phone, you can install them on a USB thumb drive, plug them into any computer running Windows and run MuseScore there.
For the cell phone , if it is running Androoid or iOS, there are apps, a player (free, needs access to MuseScore.com) and the songbook (costs a small fee, but additionally can access files stored on your device or somewhere other than on MuseScore.com), these indeed are read-only.
Musecore.com uses the rendering engine of MuseScore 2.x, so it does detect corruptions. MuseScore 1.x didn't detect those. MuseScore.com prevents the upload of corrupte scores, MuseScore 2.0 reports them and lets you load them anyway, to be able to fix them.

Here's the file repaired with MuseScore 1.3
I just selected the corrupt measures 246-251 in staff 2 and used the 'Exchange voice 1 and 2', this reinstated the missing full measure rests in those measures.
You may try the (unsupported) MuseScore 2 without SSE2, in case this is the reason you can't get the 'normal' 2.0 to work on your computer, see https://musescore.org/en/download#Unsupported-versions-of-Windows
And BTW, MuseScore does not support Windows XP (nor Vista) anymore, just like Microsoft doesn't Support them anymopre, but it still runs on those OSs.

I tried downloading and running some of the apps, but they won't run on my computer either.

As I said, the portable version needs SSE2 too, so if that is the problem with your computer it won't work. Travel the non sse2 version.

As Jojo mentioned, get the none SSE2 package of MuseScore at https://musescore.org/en/download#Unsupported-versions-for-Windows (first link)

Okay, I downloaded the 2.0.3 Nose 2 version, unzipped it, and have a bunch of files in a folder. But if there's an executable file for getting the programme up and running, I'm not seeing it.
