Musescore is quitting constantly :-(
Hi, I have been working on a very important project that has to be finished by Saturday. So far Musescore was very reliable till this afternoon. It quit. I have tried everything including restarting my computer 3 times, following these instructions, but it is still quitting. Please help me!!!!
Thanks in advance!

Instructions for MacOS
If you have MuseScore open, you need to quit the application first (MuseScore→Quit)
Open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities, or via Spotlight search) and a session window should appear
Type (or copy/paste) the following command into your terminal line (include the '/' at the front):
/Applications/MuseScore\ 3.app/Contents/MacOS/mscore -F

When exactly does it quite - when loading your score? If so, please attach it and we may be able to diagnose the problem and possibly fix the score. Otherwise, please describe what happens in more detail.

Hi Marc, Thanks for getting back to me. Every time I am trying to open MuseScore3 it opens up for 1 second, then quits. Then the window shows up saying that MuseScore quit unexpectedly. It gives me 3 options: Ignore, Report or Reopen. I am attaching 3 screen shots so you can see and follow what happens step by step. Thanks for your help!

Presumably the sequence is a bit different when using -F - it shouldn't be detecting the previous crash, so that error message would not appear, and others might differ as well. So what happens in that case?
One thing you could try before starting with "-F" is moving all files out of your Scores folder.
What happens, if you start MuseScore from command line: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/command-line-options, any output? Also check if it works with command line options, for example "-F", "-w" or "-s".

@Gyongyi829, if you think it's appropriate, attach your file here or save it on an external medium. In case of system crash you can recover it.
Try downloading the previous version of MuseScore (2x) to see if your file can be used with it and complete the work.
Let us know.

Did you check the 3.5rc candidate? For another user with probably the same problem it seemed to work.

You'll find the release candidate here: https://musescore.org/en/download.
A release candidate is a quite stable version before the next official release.
Maybe follow also this thread, where a user describes the same issue: https://musescore.org/en/node/308229.
