Disfunction and then Musescore stopped working
Im having a problem with the program. I was composing this work called The Big Apple Symphony and i was working on the 1st movement. Everything was working perfectly. Then a few days later I was about to finish the 1st movement. I was about to copy and paste a part of the score to the end for a musical endorsement when Musescore suddenly stopped working and I had to close out. Probably because it crashed. But when i tried to open up my movement again, it wouldn't open. Nothing happened. No pop ups, no warnings. Rather when i clicked on my movement in my folder and clicked open. It never did. All the other compositions opened and worked fine. But only the movement didn't open. Can I get help?
I use version 1.2 in Windows

Post again and attach the score, please, to see if anyone can open it for you and save it in a form that you can open.
Here's the score. I tried opening it again. Just won't open.
Sorry, I couldn't get anything out of it. Looking at the length - only 176 bytes - I doubt that it contains anything salvageable. It might be worth looking to see if there are any hidden files of a similar name - I'm not sure about Windows but in Linux they start with a dot and end .mscz, (i.e. with a comma) and are MuseScore's backup files.

They are also named that way in Windows.
To restore from the backup simply select the file and hit F2 and remove the , from the end of the filename.
MuseScore should then open it.

I was able to restore the beginning part of the movement. However the 2/3 of it was lost. Ill gradually remember the tune throughout the process so im good now. Thank you for your help though!
