Sent email to myself containing some stuff before nuking my computer
Somebody please help. I was working on a piece, and later in the day I decided to nuke my computer (aka factory reset it) The problem is, I sent an email to myself containing one of my pieces, and now when I try to open the piece is says that .mscz, [with a comma] is not supported.
Note: I had a plugin installed, which I am now installing. I hope it works, because if I lost this piece, I would be heartbroken.
Yes I have reinstalled Musescore. The problem was that I emailed myself the backup, not the actual piece, and I can't figure out what to do...
Another note: I have Windows 8 not a Mac. Windows forever. Mac never.
The first link is the original. The second is the same general setup, except with nothing written. COuld you mess around with it, see if you can get it to work?
Thanks so much.
Note: They have the same name.

Reinstall MuseScore. Or tell your OS that .mscz is to be opened by MuseScore
Have you reinstalled MuseScore?
In reply to Have you reinstalled by xavierjazz
Yes I have...
I have the latest version. Downloaded it about 15 minuted ago.
Read this:
http://musescore.org/en/handbook/file-format
especially the part: 'MuseScore backup files'. (Backup files have a comma at the end.)
Perhaps you emailed the backup file, which must be renamed to open in MuseScore.
Also, what operating system, MuseScore version?
You can also attach the file here if you want someone to see if they can open it.
Regards.

Thanks for the advice. I got to that conclusion right before I read this. Never thought of uploading it here though...
Or wait.... Hang on, you mean uploading it to Musescore online? Already tried it.
BTW, I only have the backup so now I have no idea what the heck to do.

Just rename it so it ends with .mscz I.e. without that comma

I tried that. Going to need some explanation on how to rename it though. Here's a screenshot.

Open the other file...

Um... what?
You mean open it on Musescore? It already is open.
In reply to What? by smithn421
What's your problem then?
And switch off that stupid Windows default setting of hiding known extensions
In reply to Open the other file... by Jojo-Schmitz
Double post.
In reply to Don't mind this by smithn421
Do not hide file extensions in Windows if you wish to rename files and their extensions.
Regards.

omg thank you so much. Thank you.
I'm so happy :D
BTW are you part of the company that created Musescore? If so, you deserve a 5 star rating.
In reply to Thank you by smithn421
@smithn421 the MuseScore software for desktop is an open source project and is created by a community of contributors from all over the world, including developers, translators, designers, documentation writers and those giving support on this forum. So a lot of people to thank ;)
