Recovering scores

• Jun 1, 2024 - 08:38

My computer crashed whilst composing a score, and it had not been saved or named. Is there any way I can recover the score?

Thanks

Under Windows, you can check these folders to see if an automatically saved file exists:

C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores\.mscbackup
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Scores
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Scores\.mscbackup
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Cloud_Scores
C:\Users\{youruseraccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Cloud_Scores

Folders ".mscbackup" are hidden folders, ask a search engine how to make them visible to your operating system.
Files in ".mscbackup" can have a different file extensions. E.g. "mscz~", "mscz," or ".mscz.autosave". You must change this to "mscz" in order to be able to open the file.
