File Corrupted
When I try to load this musescore file, it says that the application cannot read it. I don't understand what is up with that, and there appears to be no alternate backups in my computer. Can somebody fix this problem?
EDIT: It has to be something with the source code of it, but I don't know how to fix it.

Hello, thank you for your reply. Do you know by any means how this corruption could happen?

By the way, there are no backups, even in hidden files.

No, that's why that issue is stuck in 'needs info' since quite long, we've never found out when, where, why, how this happens.

I have looked in the Musescore3 folder after showing hidden files, but there were no signs of saved mscz files. Is there any hope of recovery even when there are no copies?

No, that score you attached is FUBAR

Since version 3.6 under Windows there is a folder ".mscbackup" with all the backup files in the same directory where my scores are stored.

There won't be a backup if you created the score and did all your work on it during a single session - if you never closed then reopened it. But if you ever did close and reopen it, the back is there.
As for other ways to recover, if you're on Windows and didn't choose to disable OneDrive when you set up your computer, then you can use that service to recover the last saved version of the file. Definitely a lifesaver on many occasions. On macOS I believe there are other services that can perform the same function.
