Could you attach here your score?
See: https://musescore.org/en/node/52116
If anything like that ever happens, click undo or press ctrl+z to undo what you did (maybe a few times). If ctrl+z doesn't work, then close the score and discard changes reload it and start editing again. Unless you did something to turn it off, you also have a backup of your score. The name of the file will start SC have several random looking numbers and letters then end .mscz. You can open these files and find the one that is the score you are working on and the use Save as to make the file name meaningful to you.

thanks!
i was not able to locate the backups. is there a trick on mac OSX?
i simply went back and re-entered the missing notes this time, but it would be good to know how to find this kind of backup in the future... i looked for the filename with a period before and a comma after... no results...

Shoichi's link has the info for each OS. The one with a comma at the end is made invisible by the operating system and I don't know how Mac OSX does this, but you need to look for invisible files.
