Musescore 4 crashes upon opening file

• Nov 2, 2023 - 16:44

Opening this particular score causes Musescore to briefly load, but quickly crash and quit before displaying the score for me. I'm using macOS 10.15.6 + Musescore 4.1.1 without Musehub, and this issue seems to only exist for this specific file. The issue persists even after reinstallation, and I'm unable to see crash reports or view any score-related issues.

Confirmed: MS 4.1.1 just crashes without fully opening.

Possible solution:
1. With the free 7-Zip tool, open the original .mscz file as a Zip archive
2. With the free 7-Zip tool, delete the entire Excerpts folder which holds the generated Parts
3. With MS 4.1.1, open the .mscz file (which now has no Excerpts folder) - no errors shown

And I leave you to regenerate the Parts.
