Corrupted File
I've been trying to salvage a file which became corrupted as a result of crashing. I have been trying to extract it using 7-Zip or WinRAR but to no avail. Autosaved versions of the file (with the autosave extension) are nowhere to be found (save for one from hours ago, that in itself is also corrupt), and the existing file in the .mscbackup folder is similarly unaccessible. Does anybody know any other means to salvage this by any chance? The file is attached below:
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, this file only contains bytes with the value zero.
This file is irreparably damaged - no chance at all.
You can try to post the file from the .mscbackup folder, perhaps it does not have the same corruption.
(Rename the file extension to mscz, otherwise it may not be accepted by the forum website)

Thank you so much for the response.
Here is the attached backup file with the renamed extension:

Same issue, all zeroes :-(

That's a shame :( . Thank you regardless. Does anybody know if Musescore 4 creates multiple autosaved versions of the same file (Musescore 3 does this if I'm not mistaken)? If so, what are the designated locations? (There are no files to be found in the Recycle Bin)

Recycle Bin only has files that you have deleted.
If you are working with Windows try also the following locations:
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores\.mscbackup
The file names in 'AppData' are cryptical, so if there are some, open them and check it.

The folders do exist, but unfortunately I could not find any files inside ("show hidden files" turned on), despite the software being set to auto save every 3 minutes (as stated in the Preferences tab). Is there any reason why that is?

As far as I know, 'Autosave' creates these files in .mscbackup.
You found one, but unfortunately it was also corrupted.
I have no further ideas, sorry ...
