There is something Terribly Wrong!
I have just spent this entire day and half of yesterday composing two pages of a piano piece. Fairly exhausted, I played it through once and felt generally happy with my effort. Perhaps, it was one of the nicer things that I've composed. I thought it would be good to print it off so I have a hardcopy. I was not done with it but thought that I would be better off leaving at four today. I began looking for a way to print my piano piece and no sooner then I pressed home and all my work vanished. Although I am somewhat confident that someone will prevent this from happening to someone in the future because I've enjoyed watching MARTIN KEARY'S videos about the anxiety that some bloated music software causes those who use it, I am quite unhappy. This should never happen. I'm still in the program. It seems there was absolutely no warning that what I was about to do would erase my entire effort! I hope someone takes this to heart very soon.
Sincerely,
Brian M Reschke

Sheesh I was writing a comment back to you and my computer froze and I lost it anyway. I thought it would be restored but no such luck. Why isn't there an auto save? What is the best way to safeguard against these kind of disasters?
Thanks for responding

There is one. Fortunately, even if you didn’t name your file, it will be very easy to find. Just search for the most recent .mscz.autosave file.

wierd.. I don't know why the previous comment posted before the one before it. It's brand new to me this program and I signed up for the others stuff too. That's nice the comment didn't get lost but I would have been happy to find the music again too for sure.

Holy **(&^ I found it again. I was wondering why there was three musescore icons in the dock, I guess there is one thing for each thing I was working on.
Thanks for checkin in Hamsandwichnow.

Yes. Each time you start a new project without closing the old one, there is a new instance of MuseScore.
