Score is Invalid
I was working on a score, and I saved it to the cloud while not logged in to my musescore account. Now, when I try to open the score, it says score invalid.
The larger Sicilliano is what I'm trying to get to, and the smaller one still opens as normal, but with a lot of missing work.

Apologies, I wasn't sure what you meant by "it." And that's the issue, I normally upload everything to the Musescore cloud, so when I try to download the file or open it, it just says "This score could not be opened. This score is invalid."

Check your folders for a backup file. See https://musescore.org/en/node/52116

Alright, thanks to some other user suggestions I was able to find what I think the be the correct score in the cloud scores under %localappdata%. I believe it is one of these two, and when I try to open them they still come up with Score Invalid

Both of your attachments opened fine for me. (MuseScore 4.2.1)
I just re-saved (with a slightly different name to distinguish from yours).
Here they are:
not_uploaded_1a.mscz
not_uploaded_6a.mscz

Thank you so much!

Glad it worked!
By posting your scores here in the forum, those files were presumably copied from your cloud scores found under %localappdata%.
Since I never use "the cloud" (because it's more stuff to get broken and troubleshoot)...
...please see if you can open those files that you attached in your post and, if by your having gotten them out of a "cloud" folder, it helped make them "valid" somehow.
In other words, do the scores that you attached in your post now open for you, as they did for me?
Or are they still "invalid" for you?

A picture will not help at all. You need to attach the score file.
A "score file" means the file with suffix .mscz

Apparently she uploads directly to the Cloud without saving locally. Maybe there is a backup file that she can upload here.

FWIW...
The handbook states:
"A local copy is also automatically saved on your computer."
See:

All this cloud vs local copy stuff, plus all the various "backup" locations are not very well explained/documented.
In the forum, I've seen some people have success by moving "invalid" scores out of one of those mysterious "cloud" folder(s) into a different (normal) folder (or even the desktop). It had something to do with preventing MuseScore from looking in the cloud (online) and finding that "invalid" score all the time.
