"cannot read....bad format" error following a Musescore crash
I started to modify a drum score from an imported Midi file. Saving and opening was OK until I attempted to add "Info", in "Score Information" for arranger, composer, etc. Musescore then crashed and I cannot recover the score, getting a "cannot read...bad format" error. I searched the forums and renamed the file as a zip to extract the .mscx file, but I can't open that . I've also tried renaming the ".xxx.mscz," file (renaming without the comma) as I believe this is a backup file (?) but this doesn't open either.
I'm running version 2.0.0, 6e47f74
PS I am new to this (score writing and Musescore), so I'm probably doing something wrong somewhere.
Many thanks,
Andrew

The score file containes an illegal "&" character in the instrument name ("Drumset, H&N -..."). Its unclear how this can happen.
I appended a fixed version of your file.

Thank you very much. I think the "&" would have been introduced from the filename of the original midi import?
Could you attach the original MIDI file? It would be very useful to fix the underlying bug.

Thanks - I will attach it was soon as I get back to my home PC.
