Lost my score when I download the newest version of Musescore.
I created a new composition and saved it. But when I accepted the new release of Musescore, my new composition doesn't exist. Is there a way to solve this issue? Help!

Downloading a new version doesn't erase any existing score.
From what you say most probable is that you've saved your score in the default V2 place, and when you do "open" from V3 it shows you the default folder for V3. Just navigate to the V2 folder and you will find back all your scores.

But I have V3 when I signed up. The newest version of V3 of Musescore just popped up on my screen when I opened the app. When I accepted the newest version, my score disappeared and I tried to search my files from Finder on my Mac for my composition but I can't find it. Is there another to solve this problem?

Use Finder and search for files ending in ".mscz"

I tried using Finder, but I didn't find a file that ends with ".mscz", although thanks for your support.

Were the scores created with V2? Have you uninstalled V2? If not explicitely uninstalled, it is still available next to V3. Could you try to start it and open your scores from there?

It's not created in V2 and I didn't install it. Unfortunately, I can't open my scores from there because my scores exist in V3.

The files are still exactly where you have saved them. Files on "pc" (I include mac) are saved in folders, not "captured" in the app like on smartphone.

Oh, well. I guess I have no choice but to start from scratch. But thank you for your support.
What the precise pathname (drive, folder, file) where you believe you saved it? If you browse to that folder with Finder, what exactly do you see?
