Trying to open a score, but it's corrupted.
Hi.
I've been working hard on a piece, and a few days before i finished it my computer closed before i could save it.
I tried to open it, but i got a pop-up that said:
"File "____. auto save" is defect.
This file contains an error that can make musescore not function proporly".
When i then pressed "open anyway", it open the score, but the pages did not load.
What do i do?

There are various reasons for damage. Sometimes it is repairable, sometimes unfortunately it is irreparable.
Best: Attach the mscz file so we can examine it and possibly repair it. Do the same with the autosave file, but you need to zip it. (The forum accepts only a few file types).

The one that's on the bottom is the autosave.

Thank you.
The autosave file is completely empty - 0 bytes long.
But the mscx file works fine. Can't you open it in MuS 4? That should work without any problems ...
Since I can only use MuS 3.6.2, I opened it there and saved it again with 3.6.2 - see attachment. You can open it directly with MuS 4.
