"Score corrupted" dialogue during saving
Recently I´ve encountered this issue: when I try to save an open score a dialogue shows up (attached). Later, when I open the same file, an other dialogue shows up (attachment below). However I´ve tried "save anyway" and I could not notice any unusual "corrupted" attributes when reopening the same file later. But who knows whether this is stable? Has anyone experienced the same problem and probably knows the reason for it and how to fix it?

Are you experiencing this with all scores or just one in particular?
Are you saying a score was reported as corrupted but when you open it now there is no report, or that there is a report but you can't see anything wrong?
Did you press the "Show details" button? That should indicate where a problem was found. Then you may be able to fix things following the instructions given here https://musescore.org/en/node/335842. Or attach the score here so that someone can take a look.
If you upgrade to the new version 4.4.4 there is better and more useful handling of corruptions. See https://musescore.org/en/node/372713
The source of corruptions is not yet understood. The new method of handling them will, hopefully, provide better insight into the root causes, provided users give the necessary feedback.

I was working on one particular score where this problem occured. Yes, there was a report when I reopen it, the second one in my posted screenshot. However I could not detect any changes. And the interesting thing is, that then the same problem occurs (or not) randomly. F.e. I was working today on the same "corrupted" score, but none of the two reports occured again.
Thank you for your help, I will check out the resources you´ve mentioned if the problem comes back.

The "Details" provided by that Show Details button tell you where to look to find the problem. Most commonly, you will see something along the lines of ...
Main Score; measure 204; measure is 15/16, should be 4/4
(I haven't had the error myself in a long time, so I don't have an example of it, but it's something along this line.)
The first part tells you whether the error is in the "Main score" (the conductor's score) or a "Part". If it's in a Part, delete that part and re-generate it.
If it's in the "Main score", look at the listed measure. This will not necessarily be the measure that the score numbers 204; instead it will be the actual 204th (or whatever number yours says) measure. Things like skipping measures for voltas or pick-up measures change the printed number from the "actual" number. You can see that "actual number" in the status bar at bottom right: select a single measure and it will say something like ...
Range selection: Start measure; 153; Start beat: 1; End measure: 153; End beat: 1
So, find the measure listed in the error details message. Right-click on the measure (not on a note or rest, but on blank space within that measure) and from the context menu, click Measure properties.... Correct the Actual duration to the correct value. You will likely have to correct the note durations in the measure as well.
Then repeat these steps for all measures with errors.
Good luck!!!
