MuseScore Can No Longer Read my Corrupted Score
I'm still learning a lot about MuseScore and in the past whenever I've had a score with corrupted measure(s) I never really thought twice about it and it never inhibited my MuseScore usage, so I never worried about it. Yesterday, I opened one of my scores and was greeted by the corrupt message, and as usual, I let it be. However, while working on the score it kept crashing. So then I began to do research on how to fix the corruption, which was super easy, but any time I tried to save the score after removing the corrupted measure, it crashed again and did not save the change. I was getting frustrated with it and decided I'd worry about it tomorrow, and here I am the next day, with the same problem. Except after trying again, now when I try to open the score I'm greeted by an error message saying that MuseScore cannot read the file. In my scores folder I'm also left with a .mscz.temp file as well as the original .mscz file of the score. I've attached the original score in case that is needed for any help. I've been trying to find a solution on these forums but am struggling, so if anyone has some insight, I would much appreciate it! Thanks!

Search the backup, see: https://musescore.org/en/node/52116
0 bytes = no hope

:( Is there any chance the .mscz.temp file can do anything to help recover? Or is it a lost cause completely?

Where do you see a .temp file?

Look for an autosaved backup:
https://musescore.org/en/node/52116
It has an alphanumeric name (for example, scfl5196.mscz) so you must open in MuseScore to see what it contains.

The .temp file is in the Scores folder along with all of my other scores, but I also just noticed that it also is 0 bytes so I don't think it will be helpful.
I searched through all of the autosaved backups and any of the files dated back to yesterday or today have the same problem: MuseScore cannot open them. I searched through all of the other backups and they're either blank untitled scores that I forgot to close out of when starting up MuseScore or backups of different scores I worked on. Thinking this one is a lost cause unless anyone poses any other solutions, sadly. :(
