Corrupted Score File
I´m having a problem with a corrupted score file. Even when I fix the measures and save the file upon reopening the file the same corrupt measures are still there. The only way I could get the file to open normally was by deleting the notes in the corrupt measures, which of course is not a solution. I also copied all the data to an empty song which worked BUT that would mean I would have to re-enter all the rehearsal marks and also redo the layout for each instrument. This would take some hours so I´m trying to avoid that option. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

See, repaired score: Celebration 2.mscz
(i.e. : First, delete Sax Alto 1 part -> In main score, in measures 266/268/254, change the dotted half rest for a "simple" half rest -> Recreate now Sax Alto 1 part)
Of course, if you have some clues about the presence of these inexpected dotted half rests in these three measures, please tell to us)
It reports
Measure 266, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 5/4
Measure 268, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 5/4
Measure 284, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 5/4
Not too bad, just 3 measures.
See How to fix a score that contains corruptions for various methods to fix those

Yeah "not too bad" BUT when I fixed the measures and saved the file the corruption is still there when I reopen it, as I wrote in my original post.

Then you haven't really fixed them.
It might come back via the parts, so delete those before fixing the corruptions and regenerate them after

Hmmm...first I deleted the notes in the measure so that it displayed a full measure rest in 4/4. Then I added the correct notes and saved the file. Upon reopening the original corruption was still there. Strange! I also tried writing any notes to the 4/4 bar and saving but the original corruption returned upon reopening, as if it had a memory of the previous file.

Usually the simplest method is to swap voices twice. Here swap voice 1 and 2, delete all voice 2 rests, swap voice 1 and 2 again, delete the voice 2 rest

I have also read the suggestions for fixing a corrupt file. If you have the time try to enter anything in one of the corrupt measures and the save and reopen. Is the corruption still there? That´s what I´m struggling with.
