I've been working on a file for a few days. Today after upgrading to the new version I kept working on it and saved it but now when I try to open it again to continue working it won't open and i get a notification that the software can't read the file. any ideas how i can fix it?

It happend to me too, for 3.0.5.5992, I couldn't open the file, couldn't rename it, I could make a copy of it, but couldn't open the copy either. it said I didn't have the previledge.
it was solved either wait for a while or a system reboot i am not sure.

The attached file is in a state that will never allow it to open with MuseScore. It's damaged. There is not enough data in it to discover the score that's supposed to be inside of it.

Very good, I didn't want to give oll false hope that there was a chance his file would open. When a file like this is attached, I look at it in notepad. If the screen (at the size I have it) is not filled up with characters, then I know there is not enough data to be able to open the score. I have on a few occasions been able to recover the mscx file (actual score data) so the work is not lost, but files that cannot be fixed are more common.

It's been randomly happening for years and we can't figure it out. I was hoping it would be accidentally fixed in version 3, but that seems to not be the case.
