I can't hear the instrument after a certain measure.

In my piece that I composed for fun which is unfinished and only viewable to me, after a double bar, the piano wouldn't play anymore, but it's still running. How do I get it to keep playing instead of it stopping mid-way the piece.

There's no possible way for us to tell without the score. Please attach the .MSCZ file and we can take a look.

Small bet that you've got a hidden, incorrect dynamic marking, but can't tell for sure without the file.

Well, I'm suggesting that you provide us with the file that you created in order to upload. That is, the original. You shouldn't have to "turn it into a file"???

Definitely do not provide us with a link to the musescore.com page. That would not be helpful in the slightest.

Unless you take some special action (I think an "export"?), .MSCZ is the native format that scores created in MuseScore are saved in.

I was able to open the .mxl file, even though I got the following error message:

File "C:/Users/Owner/Music/score.xml" is not a valid MusicXML file.

Do you want to try to load this file anyway?

Yes . . . . . . . . No . . . . . . . . Show Details...

If I click to Show Details..., I get ...

Fatal error: line 811, column 15: Element staff is not defined in this scope.

Line 811 contains < staff >1< /staff >. It is the first staff 1 after a sequence of staff 2 codes, but before that there have been quite a few previous staff 1 codes. No idea what the error means.

If I click Yes the file opens. It looks like it has problems. For example: Two Swing markings at the same place. Multiple pizz. markings with no interleaving arco. Many repeated and sometimes overlapping fff markings. The notation ends at measure 24, with 9 empty measures after the last notation. Understand that I don't know if any of these will actually cause a problem. I'm quite certain that the last will not cause a problem.

I suspect that you created this in some program other than MuseScore and that you are trying to open it (successfully opening it?) in MuseScore or trying to post it to the musescore.com webpage.

Tell us more about what you are trying to do? And the source of this file? A quick read of the MuseScore 4 Handbook might be useful? (Don't try to memorize it! Just a quick read-through so you can get some idea of what the application does.)

4.4.3 didn't complain about that score.xml at all (4.4+ doesn't do any schema validation anymore unfortunately), 3.6.2 though does, but with a different error

Fatal error: line 800 column 53 Element direction contains unknown attribute system.

as it doesn't (fully) understand MusicXML 4.0

3.7 Evolution indeed gives the error you described
