No, there is no way to save this file: it consists of 72k zero bytes!

Is there a reason this happened? The file was doing just fine then it suddenly stopped working in between sessions. Does it alter itself while you are not using it? Both the hidden back up and the manual back up both did the exact same?

If the developers knew the reason for this, they would fix it!
It is a problem mainly with Musescore version 4.x. You can try to avoid it by saving frequently and under different names.
It doesn't change if you don't use it, it has to be an action of yours - but which one?

"It is a problem mainly with Musescore version 4.x"
Really? I started with version 1.3, and I've always seen this kind of problem in versions 2, 3, and 4, at more or less the same frequency, from memory. An attempt to remedy this has been made recently:https://musescore.org/en/node/372934
Apparently the initial results (or rather the lack of feedback) don't seem to be living up to expectations.

I never had such errors with Musescore - files with several tens of kB zero bytes. But with Musescore 4, the reports in the forum became more frequent ...

I never had them either, but the reports about them definitley didn't start with Mu4, they are much older

May be.
But the complaints about empty files have undoubtedly increased significantly with Musescore 4.
(I have been watching the forum since Musescore 3.x).

I don't think so. It's been an issue since long, and pretty constantly.

Not sure they have even been seen with 1.x but surely with 2.x. See #271185: Scores corrupted beyond repair, containing nothing but zeros, which indicates that the first report was for 2.1.1 (https://musescore.org/en/node/271185#comment-953896 and https://musescore.org/en/node/271294)

That's exactly what I said ("I started with version 1.3, and I've always seen this kind of problem in versions 2, 3, and 4" ). So, from version 2 to the present day... That said, version 1 was more confidential... perhaps there were cases too, but not reported :)

Not only is this an ongoing MYSTERY (with capital letters) but the fact that https://musescore.org/en/node/372934 didn't fix it and people keep reporting corrupted files, only makes it even more mysterious. I am starting to think that yes, the files must be corrupting themselves while just sitting there. Or it could be that the mscz extension has been cursed millions of years ago, I'll have to read some ancient books. LOL.
What is this manual backup you are referring to? Also corrupted?
