Musescore4 - Open Error - File ... is corrupt. Please Help
Both 3 and 4 are very frustrating. I am using 4 but now I get an open error that my file is corrupted. There are only 2 options, "Cancel" and "Ignore". Both do the same thing - NOTHING. I saved the file yesterday then left Musescore open. When I came back to my computer Musescore was frozen so I had to kill it. This morning I tried to open the file but got the corrupt message. I researched the issue and read that there would be a 3rd option, "Show Details" but there was no such option. This has happened before but I've put a lot of time in on this file. I am uploading it to see if someone can fix it. If you do please tell me how. Thanks.
P.S. I last used Musescore 2. To me, both 3 and 4 are buggy and don't work as well. Am I doing something wrong?

The mscz (which is a ZIP archive in disguise) doesn't contain any score, no mscx file (except for some/all excerpts).
So nothing to recover here, sorry

How do you know that? Are you looking at the file with an app other than Musescore?

Yes, I used 7Zip

Thank you for the tip. I installed 7ZIP and did an extract and there was a copy that contained my changes through Sunday. I made the additions, via MS4, and I now have the file that I was hoping to retrieve. Thank you. I wouldn't have found it without 7ZIP.

Can you take a look at this one? Also, what is a file with "mscz.autosave" as an extension?

Same issue
What about MuseScore 3 is frustrating and buggy?
MuseScore 4 though certainly is, it is still in Beta!

I couldn't get my AKAI MPK mini to work with 3 so I tried 4. It did work with 4 but not consistantly.

It's more likely a driver issue than anything about MuseScore specifically. Be sure to have the latest versions, and contact AKAI about any issues you encounter using their drivers. Certainly, other MIDI devices work fine in both 3 & 4.
And keep in mind that MS4 is not yet released. If you so choose to use it for actual real work, thus ignoring the "use for testing" only warnings that come with it, well... now you know why those warning labels are there.
The "Show Details" button is something from MS3, which is still missing in MS4.

Likely. In combination with that hang/crash
