corrupted file
HI, I have a corrupted file, all the timing and length of bars is off. Notes missing etc. I used the musescore conversion tool from pdf to musescore file. Musecore can open the file but it's half wrong. I cannot get the repair plugin as Musescore 4.2 doesn't seem to recognise it. I tried manually changing everything. Got half way and lost all the work. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

And when I play it back (with the corrected notes) it seems to play a whole load of other notes not on the screen as well.
Conversion from PDF only works quite well in rare cases. If some elements are not recognized, this leads to incorrect measure lengths. Especially if the template is not perfect. The various changes to the time signature can also cause additional problems.
You can see that several measures have a small '+' or '-' sign in light gray. This indicates that the measure is too long or too short. You must therefore compare each measure with the template and correct such errors.
It is usually easiest to insert an additional measure, rewrite the wrong one there and then delete the broken one.
As I do not know the original, I can only give this general advice.
In order not to lose the previous correction work, often save it under a new name.
By the way: This is not a question for the "Plugins" forum section.

Thanks, I tried that but the replay didn't work. There is a "PLUGIN" called something like "Repair plugin" for musescore, but musescore 4 doesn't seem to recognize it. Hence the question in this forum.

The online "conversion" of PDF to MSCZ is far, far from perfect and has resulted in a badly interpreted score. Even fixing the corrupted file is unlikely to sort it.

AFAIK the repair assistant plugin does work in Mu4 too, but it can't do wonders.
