Devastated- part I worked on for hours gone
A piece I worked on for hours yesterday is missing a HUGE chunk of work in the middle of what I was working on.
Basically, I wrote out the entire melody line, like 90 measures, then went back to add parts to the first 12 measures. I saved it all. This morning, most of my work after measure 20 is gone, but my work on parts in the first 12 measures is still there.
HELP!

You probably opened an older copy of that score, and have save the latest version in a different place?

Thanks, I could not locate any other saved versions.
Also, that wouldn't make sense, what I opened contains my most recent edits, but not a lot of what I did before that.

Needless to say, what you describe should not happen, and really, it's not possible. Somehow I think you are confused about what happened, although not being there to look over your shoulder I can't say what did happen. My best guess is you saved most of your work, then made the msitake of loading an older version, didn't notice the recent work was gone, and then make some more changes and saved that
But if you saved your work originally, it is absolutely positively still there, MuseScore does not have any sort of facility to automatically go around deleting files. How did you look for other versions? Did you use your operating systems search faciity? Did you tell it to search the entire drive, including hidden and system folders You might want to see if you can find any computer gurus in your area who can assist you in running the tools necessary to sort this out.

Another thing that happens is that whatever you do in the score with very few formatting exceptions, gets transferred to the parts and the other way around as well. If you have parts with updates they are in a different score than where you entered the info in the main score.
