Parts not accurately reflecting scores
I have two MuseScore 4 files which have instrument parts that do not reflect what is in the score. These files apparently are corrupt, but there does not seem to be any way to fix them (attempting to export to MusicXML in order to re-open in MuseScore 3 causes MS 4 to crash per https://musescore.org/en/node/341703)
Any suggestions?
OS: macOS 13.1, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.0-223472200, revision: 5485621

(Ubuntu Linux 20.04) I tried twice to load into MS4, export to XML. A 'corrupted' popup message happened.
Both times MS4 quit w/ no messages. The XML file produced was 0 bytes. On a whim, I tried to export to MID, same behavior.
See if this opens OK for you in MuseScore 4 (without those 'instrument parts that do not reflect what is in the score'):
Rhythm Warmups.mscz
EDIT: This one may be better (without the 'Excerpts' folder):
Rhythm Warmups_2.mscz
Here's "Watermelon Man' as a MuseScore 3 file:
Watermelon_Man-MS3.mscz
Be aware that Soloist Flute (Old Flute) and Vibraphone need to be made 'visible' in Instruments for any edits to be done on those staves, or for 'counting' on which staff an error resides.
Here's a list of corruptions provided by MS3 'Show Details':
Show_Details.txt
The MuseScore 3 file may be opened with MuseScore 4, though MS4 does not allow to 'Show Details' regarding corruptions.
Note: To me it seems that somehow the functionality of the 'Concert Pitch' button somehow got reversed for this score. With 'Concert Pitch' activated, transposing instruments show different key signatures. With 'Concert Pitch' off, all instruments show the same key sigs. Seems weird.

Thank you so much for digging into this and creating the MS3 version, which exposes the corrupted bits. Which, granted, seems overwhelming. And I'm not sure I can even address them. For example, the very first item in the "Show_Details.txt" list is "Measure 5, staff 4 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 0/1." This is in the clarinet part where there is nothing in the measure (no rest or anything). And in fact, I can't even "activate" the measure by clicking in it, so it seems uneditable.
Is there some trick I can use to edit corrupted measures like these? Otherwise it looks like I just need to start over (in MS3 this time - I'll wait for at least the MS 4.1 release before trying MS4 again).

One way to select an "uneditable" measure is to include it in a broader selection - for example, include the before and after measures. Then Ctrl Del to get rid of everything, including the "bad" measure.
First, though, you may insert a few blank measures to duplicate any "good" content before you perform the Ctrl Del.
