corrupted files
Hello,
I have upgraded from version 4 to 4.02 and now many of my files will not load. I get the message corrupted file
Under details I get Error=XML_Error_Empty_Document_Error ID (Oxd) Line Number =0
When downloading the plug-in repair assistant and trying to open this plug-in I get again the error message that the file is corrupted.
Any suggestions how to deal with this will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Jorg

Thanks Daniel,
It appears I have not expressed myself well. I did download the repair assistant. But now what? How do I get the repair assistant to show up in the plug-ins?
Thanks

I too downloaded the Repair assistant and put it into the Plugins folder, restarted MuseScore, but since it doesn't show up in the Plugin manager, I cannot enable it. Is there some more magic to be done?

The trick seems to be just to ask for help. Suddenly after that It shows up, now I'll try to figure out how to enable it.

Won'tz help on that score, that sort of corruption though
That score is a badly broken ZIP archive
I suspect some of your files didn't save correctly. It may just be my perception (or bias, since I use Linux) but this seems to happen most commonly in Windows. 1] Try saving your files as .MSCX instead of the default MSCZ - this avoids the compression/decompression stages where I think things can go wrong. 2] Make regular backup copies of files as you go - either Save As with a different name or in your File Explorer or whatever, select the file and copy it and save with a new name.
You can post any problematic files here and someone is likely to try to help you but first check by opening the file with a text editor and if it contains nothing but zeros then there is no music information present to extract.
