please help! musescore file corrupted and I can't fix it!
Musescore crashed and now my file is corrupted and keeps crashing musescore within a few minutes. I tried using view details and fixing the errors with measure lengths (ie, some were like 12/8 or something) but in the measure inspector it just said 4/4. This is very time sensitive!

Since you apparently were able to fix theirs, could you take a shot at fixing mine as well? I'm having the same issue.

The corruption was in the first bar of one of the pedal steel gutiars. I picked the first bar from a non-corrupted stave and inserted a bar. I copied notes from the non-corrupt second bars to the first. I copied the Tempo setting to the (now) first bar. Finally, I deleted the (now obsolete) second bars.

This should be fixed, if not you can make the rhythms correct. To fix it all I did was select the measures, press delete and enter the notes again.

Usually the simplest way to recover from problems like this is through your OS's own cloud backup feature - eg, OneDrive on Windows or Time Machine on macOS. Those can restore the most recently-saved version of the file and have you back on your way. But if for whatever reason that's not an option, see https://musescore.org/en/node/52116 for further options

All my files are corrupted without reason . I don’t know what to do.
I tried fully deleting the selected measures and saving but musescore immediately crashes after trying to save

When you open the score it lists the problem measures, they are all in the flute. I suggest that you just delete and reenter these measures. I'm not sure how you got one amount of beats in one voice and another in the other voice, but that is your problem in the measures I checked.
Sorry but could anyone take a look at this score of mine. It's corrupted, and the error message says is pretty much that in some of the measures, Flute voice 1 has wrong total measure duration, e.g. 10 eighth notes in a bar of 4/4. The problem is, every time I try to fix this, for some reason Musescore traces back to the previous version before I fixed the measure every time I open the file, even though I have fixed and then saved.

Best to remove all parts first, then fix the corruptions as per the link in the 1st reply of this thread, then generate the parts again
The measures that are "corrupt" when I select "show details" are measures I haven't gotten to yet. Can someone tell me how to fix the corruption or fix the file for me? I cant edit the parts or move them to a new file to save them because the file crashes every time.

That score got last saved with MuseScore 3.3.4, so better update to 3.6.2 now.
(See also #313298: MuseScore in Microsoft Store is outdated, still at 3.3.4; remove link on Download page)
That 3.6.2 does not report any corruption.

How would I update to 3.6.2? My software doesn't have an update option and doesn't suggest it's time for an update?

Uninstall the windows store version, then download the current version from this very website instead.

Does this look OK to you?
In reply to Does this look OK to you? by Jojo-Schmitz
omg thank you! It's mostly correct, I just need to add some dynamics back and fix couple minor issues. I was wondering how you fixed it since I tried to do it myself using the Musescore article about corrupted score but still saw no progress. thank you again!

See the article references in the very first response in this thread - https://musescore.org/en/node/54721. It explains how to fix corruptions. However, this file is pretty badly damaged. Do you have any insight into what caused this? There are extra beats in almost every measure, and a missing time signature in the top staff. But, I think the issing time signature is key - it's probably what is making the other staves think they need an etxra beat.
I edited your file by hand to add what I assume is a missing 3/4/ to the first staff, and now it doens't say it's corrupt any more. i have no idea if the reuslt is correct, but hopefully it gives you a better starting point.
