File Corruption
I have spent a great deal of time on an original piece of music here on MuseScore and one day it was corrupted and I have no idea how to fix it. It will not open or anything I've tried. I am extremely depressed by this because I feel like this was one of my best compositions I have ever written. If you can help me I would so greatly appreciate it!!!! Please Help me!

I did not have a backup and I can't follow the instructions on the second one because mine only offers an "ok" button

That is why I wrote "maybe", I'm not at m a computer so did not check the file you attached.

I appreciate the help!!
Something seems to have gone wrong the last time the file was written; the file appears mostly empty. See if you can find the backup file. See https://musescore.org/en/node/52116

No ".TBA_Concert_Band.mscz," file in the same directory as "TBA_Concert_Band.mscz"?

What do you mean?

As explained in the article I linked, the backup file should be in the same folder as the main file, and it should have the filename that was listed above - same as the main file but with a period in front and comma at the end. The file would normally be hidden, so you would need to enable display of hidden files in order to see it. For details on how to do that you would need to say what OS you are on, or better yet just do a web search for that info as it pertains to your OS.
But the file is almost certainly there; MuseScore always creates it.

Excellent! While you're at it, you might want to remove the period at the beginning of the filename, but it won't actually cause problems as is unless you re on Linux (maybe Mac too).
