Lost several Hours of work

• Oct 12, 2024 - 14:32

I have lost work on a file that I saved regularly and auto save is on in Musescore 4. Now when I open the file all the work progress is not there only the original file that I started and did some work on. How can I recover the most recent autosave of this file?

If you are sure which folder holds your saved scores, then look for a sub-folder named .msbackup (which may be hidden). Use your computer's operating system to unhide this sub-folder.

If you are unsure where the autosave places its backups:
1. Check in Edit > Preferences > Folders > Scores for where scores should be saved by default, then find a sub-folder .msbackup there
2. Failing that, use your computer's search (file finder) to locate all files with a suffix of .mscz or .mscsz~ (with trailing tilde)
