MuseScore crashing when trying to open file
Hello,
Previously I've never had issues with MS crashing. Now, every time I try to open the file I've been working on, MS shuts down. I've tried turning my computer off and on again, so I'm out of ideas. What is the protocol when this happens?
Smaller files seem to open fine. The piece I'm working on is at 13 pages right now, so not sure if length or something else has to do with it.
Thank you in advance,
Lewis

Can you open this file?
Hello,
Thank you. Both these files open, but I'm noticing just through a brief glance that the score is greatly altered - spacing is completely different, certain elements are missing- feathered beams have reverted to normal beams, many symbols and articulations are either changed or gone. Bringing this score back to how I left it would be quite an undertaking. Is there no way to access the file as I saved it last?

Another attempt ...
.....edit
If this (Quater) is suitable for you:
I opened your score with Nightly 41c2abd;
Ctrl + A (select) Ctrl + C;
Ctrl + V (Paste) on the score (Ter) opened with 2.0.3

Thank you. Very similar issue. Everything I did other than very basic notes, rhythms, dynamics and articulations, is either altered or lost. A lot of time was spent working on the graphical, visual aspect, notating extended techniques, etc.

Else have a look if you find a last saved file or an autosaved file, but I'm not sure, if the result will be better:

Thanks. The Quater (no idea what that is) is an improvement, but still, a good number of things are altered.
The most recent back-up file I could find is from several days ago - i.e. several days' work is lost there.
I've checked:
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\MuseScore 2\bin
and
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore2\
Could it help to uninstall and re-install MuseScore, or is the file not open-able on your MS2 also?
Thanks.

No, the corruption is inside the file you've attached. I got a output of several missing elements (slurs, glissandos, textlines and so on). Not sure what changes in your score this occurred. I opened your file with the nightly of 2.1 too and exported the file as xml.
In the next stable version of musescore 2.1 (also in the nightly of 2.1) the program will handle better such things/behavior.
But reinstalling MuseScore 2.0.3. want have an effect.

To me your attachment sent MsS to crash.
Be patient, someone else could take a look and help you better.
Uninstall and re-install MuseScore I don't think can help, there is something in the score that creates the problem.
:(
Thanks. I'll wait and see if someone else has some luck. As I said, the Quater is an improvement, but bringing the score back to how it was would nonetheless take several hours.

I just downloaded the latest Nightly (2.1). Also check this.
(I'm just an end user and my methods are fairly rudimentary)

Thanks-- best one yet. still some issues with the more complicated graphical elements, beaming in complex time signatures-- and the spacing is different/wider. But this looks work-able.
The underlying mscx file contains lots of duplicates and other corrupt lines. I've deleted a few and the file opens but I have no idea how close it is to your intention.

Congratulations, you are the winner! Thank you Shoichi and Kuwitt for participating.
I have no idea how duplicates or corrupt lines were created. Thank you, Underquark-- the file you uploaded appears almost identical to what I lost, and the small differences will be easy to fix.

As fas as I understand underquark the file still contains many duplicates and corruptions

Yes, but I wanted to see if I was at least on the right track in restoring the file to a state that the OP could work on or maybe copy from into a new file. I probably wouldn't be able to find and eradicate every corrupt line since there are thousands of lines of XML code. Anyway, I believe that someone else is working on a PlugIn to remove rogue elements.

Not being a programmer, is there anything I can do to avoid or eradicate corrupt elements in my file so this won't happen again?
