My Musescore 3 file won't open.
So I was composing this piece and I added a bit to many measures than inicially anticipated, so i tried to delete it and for some odd reason my computer ran into a problem and had to restart, when I tried to open musescore and try to work on my composition it said that it wasn't able to read it. If anyone can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if you are going to be able to open it.

Looks like you will need to find a bac up of your score. They are stored in folders that are hidden by your OS.

I would Google how to view hidden folders for your OS. One of them is in your Scores folder> The other is in (Windows) Appdata.

I think this is the back up

I don't think I did anything to the file than just try to figure out the mscz and such.

See:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/file-formats#msczcomma
especially this part:
The backup file adds a period to the beginning of the file name (.) and a comma (,) to the end (e.g. if your normal file is called "untitled.mscz", the backup copy will be ".untitled.mscz,"), and the period and comma need to be removed from the name in order to open the backup file in MuseScore.
So, here's your score without the period and the trailing comma:
Romanze_Fuer_Solo_Violine_(Der_Romantik_in_Der_Nacht).mscz
Does it work for you?

Yes, it does thank you very much!

Hmmm. Interestingly enough, downloading the second file to my system seems to strip out the period at the beginning of the file name. But it left the comma at the end. Still I could open the file without removing the comma. Wonder why?
