MuseScore 3 and 4 both crash when I try to open this particular file
I completed an arrangement last night, saved, and went to bed. This morning, I emailed a copy of this file to myself so that I could open it from my work computer and print parts.
Opening this file from my work computer crashes MuseScore3 (which is what I primarily work from, because of MDL) as well as crashes MuseScore4 when I tried to open in with that. I got home after work and have tried every solution I've seen in the forums and still no wins.
What I have tried so far in both MS3 and MS4:
1. Closing and Reopening the program(s)
2. Opening the problematic file once another score was already loaded and working
3. Updating to the latest MS4
4. Uninstalling and re-installing MS3
5. Creating a zip file, emailing that to myself, and extracting the file from there, then opening that new file in with both MS3 and MS4.
6. Looked in Application Support for back-up versions, but there are none for this file as I did successfully save it when I finished. (or so I had thought...)
What I have seen is something about opening a file "without excerpts", but I didn't find enough context to understand this.
Can anyone help? This file is a solid two days of work for me and I'd love to find a way around trying to recreate it from scratch.
Thanks!

It OPENED! Thank you so much!
Could you explain to me what you did, so that I don't have to depend on the kindness of strangers?

Extract the mscx from the mscz, open it in a plain text editor find the end of the score and with that the start of the parts, delete till the end of the parets, save.
