I m not sure that you read correctly. I m nt lookig for a file. I know that doesnt work because little star (*) stays on the title of the document and if it crashes it opens empty.

It's correct that the * stays. As mentioned, autosave doesn't save the main score file itself, it makes its own copy. It never touches your file, so the star remains until you save it. And indeed, if the program closes and you haven't saved it, your file will not have your recent changes. but the autosave file will, you have to say "yes" when MsueScore asks if you want to restore your last session. This will cause MuseScore to open the autosave file.

And your score hasnt saved, because you did not. But autosave did do its job, check dor autosave files, reading the link i provided.

I just tried what you say, and if there are unsaved changes the program ask to save it. If i save it so it isnt a auto-save. Im thinking that musescore auto-save is different that other softwares, can you explain how it works?
Thanks

I readed it I understand, thank you. Its just very different that other software, why should I need 2 separate files whith more or less the same data. All a average user wants is one file in one place that i choose.
