Blank score when opening downloads from website

• Jul 30, 2023 - 02:18

I downloaded some mus. files from the musescore website today and when I went to go open them in musescore 4.1 it just showed a single page blank score. When trying to play back the score, it just played nothing for three seconds and then stopped. The files opened when I downloaded them in Music XML format, but it is quite annoying to try and fix the defects of opening a XML file in musescore. The left is what shows up when I open it; the right is what it is on the website Please help if you can.

That website file was from an old version of MuseScore. I still have MuseScore 3 and it opened but needs some work. (I got rid of screwy pedal marks and Segno signs.) I saved in MS3 and then opened/saved in MS4.
You can open in MuseScore 4 and check against the website version to add stuff back. Here it is:
