Corrupted file not opening
I've been working on a file for a while. I closed it down fine, quit MuseScore and now when I open it it doesn't work. I found a help page suggesting I open it with Winzip etc. I'm working on a Mac. I tried downloading Unzip One. But it doesn't read it as a compressed folder it can open. Do you know any Mac based programs that can access mcsz files like as suggested?
I'm attaching the file, just in case some kind person can recover it for me.
Many thanks

I've fixed it for you
Half-way known issue, see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/20728
I can't say for sure whether the recovery worked. It was again a case of several incorrect values in the denominator of the measure length value (found in mscx). This denominator must not be greater than 128 and has been set to 192 several times.
See attachment, saved with MuS 3.7.
I don't know the Mac, but if you rename the file extension from mscz to zip, it should be openable on the Mac as well.

Years ago, Thomas (webmaster) briefly eliminated time stamps, but brought them back:

In addition to revealing the (rapid) response times, the time stamps often help to make sense of who is responding to whom when the forum's seventh indentation level is reached, and successive responses are no longer indented.

Mu3.6.2 even needed the denominator to not be greater than 64. 3.7 and Mu4 raised that to 128
Do you have any idea how you got the score into that bogus state?

Thanks so much to you both. I'm not sure how I managed to mangle it. I was doing lots of joining bars, because the original 18th century score goes quite freeform at the end with many measures going way over 3 crochets in the bar. I was also struggling to create 128th notes, which I did manually, as I don't think they are supported (yet), so was drawing those on with the symbols palette. But that shouldn't have affected the denominator.

128th duration is fully supported, even down to 1024th, just measures can't be shorter than 1/64 (in Mu3.6.2) or 1/128 (in Mu4 and Mu3.7)

I must have found an old help post which was requesting 128ths. Very glad that I don't have to draw beams manually again. Not sure how I managed to create a 1/256th bar. Must have been when I was slicing and dicing. Thanks again.

No, an xxx/192 one
