Can't Open File - MuseScore Crashing
Hello,
I am having trouble opening a file in v3.5 Release Candidate. It was originally created in MuseScore 1 about six years ago. Other files that were created at exactly the same time and the same way open fine. It's just this one movement out of three that won't open, and when I try, MuseScore crashes.
I get the following error messages:
- Previous session quit unexpectedly.
Restore Session?
With yes or no option
Selecting either option has the same result:
- MuseScore quit unexpectedly
The file will open in MuseScore 2.
What can I do? Thank you.

I can open the extracted mscx file with an editor but don't find the reason (lack of knowledge). Did you already search for an autosaved file: https://musescore.org/en/node/52116?
See if this opens. I opened it using an old AppImage (2.3.1), Exported as musicxml and then re-opened in 3.4.2. Some of the formatting will likely have been lost.

That worked! Thanks so much for figuring it out. Looks like some of the formatting is still pretty good, too.

You're welcome. I didn't really figure out why the original is crashing, though. I just presumed that exporting to musicxml would strip out some MS-specific code and hopefully ditch any nonsense code.
Crashes in 3.5 too. According to the debugger, the issue has to do with a fermata on top of a measure repeat symbol. The implementation of both of those things changed some since MuseScore 2. Individually they import fine, but I guess the combination of the two is problematic.

Looks like there were four of these, in the piano part, opening measures. I deleted them in MuseScore 2.3.2 and resaved, the result opens fine in MuseScore 3.5.

Hi Marc, I am having the same problem with my file. Musescore crashes whenever I try and open it and I'm not sure why... Can you help me please?
Thankyou so much!

Thankyou so much for fixing my file!! You have no idea how much I appreciate it. Was the issue that I had saved it in continuous view?

At best (!?) that was a symptom/workaround. See also below.

Opens just fine in MuseScore 3.6.2 on Windows 10.
Score stems from MuseScore 3.6.0 -> UPDATE NOW! There are quite a few severe bug fixed in 3.6.2
Here the most likely one is #315529: MuseScore 3.6 crashes on open of a file with start repeat in continuous view

Oh! I wasn't aware I was using an outdated version of Musescore! I have downloaded the latest version. Thanks for your help!!
