MuseScore

I was working on a project for a long time and it will no longer open in MuseScore! The program was laggy and starting to experience bad delays, so I saved the file and exited. But when I tried to open it again, the file was not able to be read. A preview of it is also no longer able to be seen. Is there any way I can recover this?!

For which patch are we supposed to review the code?

The file is beyond repair, after a still valid zip header it contains nothing but zeroes. You'd need to look for a backup, see https://musescore.org/en/node/52116

I've opened #271185: Scores corrupted beyond repair, containing nothing but zeros to collect information about the possible problem behind this broken score.
