Request help correcting MuseScore corrupted measure
Hello. in 2016 I created with MuseScore (version 2.x) a 7-minute score for two voices and several instruments, an unpublished Cypriot song for the private use of friends in Cyprus. There is one bar in this score that is corrupted with three random inaccurate rests that I do not know how to correct. Each time I attempt a correction - by deleting or overwriting - it affects and corrupts the timing, in complicated meaningless ways, the bar's final beat and the entire next bar of the score. (I haven't dared look further to assess the damage i know awaits me).
Is there someone who might take a look at this measure and advise and instruct me how I can correct this "formatting" error?" I would be incredibly grateful for any help you can offer. If so, please let me know the best next steps.
Please see attached file. The intended final 4th beat for Voice 1 (Bass Clef) would contain only a half note rest, and a half note G, as exists now (with a corrupted final note value). There is no way I have found to erase the existing note and the corrupted 3 rests prior to the final half-note.
Thank you all, very much I am very grateful.

I am now able to use MuseScore version 4.4.3.
Thanks again.

Sorry, Yes of course. I had expected instructions for me to follow, rather than this amazingly generous offer for someone to actually do the editing work themselves. So thank you all again. Instructions are still highly valued and would be appreciated
The file I am sending below still is tagged (by MuseScore ) as being "corrupt 77" but the bar in questions - bar 77 - seems to be (mostly) intact. The final Voice 1 "eighth-note" time -value is incorrect and should be a 16th note with proceeding16th note rest, but at this point I will settle for anything. I haven't glanced at this score for 8 years, and there are quite a few copies - all slightly different. When I opened it in MuseScore 3 a year ago I noticed the corruption, which had never appeared when originally transcribing the folk song. It will sit out its days in a in local Library at best.
Thank you all once again

Generosity is not guaranteed, it's just that commenting on a picture often leads to twenty questions. There are instructions in the Handbook for fixing corrupt files.
See if this is OK (apologies if I have got the lyrics wrong as my Greek is very much of the tourist variety).
I inserted a measure before the corrupted one and then copy/pasted the "good" measures and manually re-entered the bad one and then deleted the bad measure.
