1) Created a score with file name Dubrú Noc (A slovac lullaby). After editing even the smallest item, save icon crashes MuseScore. After restarting and accepting to reload active score, all or most edits are there (time dependent?) and I can save without crash - but not after editing anything. There is file "debug.log" on my deskltop that reads: "[1030/030828.441:ERROR:directory_reader_win.cc(43)] FindFirstFile: Le chemin d’accès spécifié est introuvable. (0x3)". Not sure this is from MuseScore, it doen't say so.

Workaround: changed the file name to Dubru (w/o the accent) and the problem is gone.

Windows 10 2004, fully patched. Yes MuseScore 3.5.2, this error occurred with at least one previous version (3.5.1). I bumped into this for about a month, until today I realized that it might be the special character in file name that might trigger this. A quick test confirmed.
