Exported PDF score & Parts, and MP3, then original musescore file disappeared.
Hi there,
I created 5-part harp ensemble of "Down in the River." I worked on this file over multiple days, with no problems opening and working on the file. I also successfully exported the file as PDF score and parts, individual parts, and an MP3.
But now I cannot find the original MuseScore file anywhere on my computer. All the PDFs are there, the MP3 is there. Other scores that I have created are there. But this one has vanished. Any ideas on how to restore? Or do I have to re-enter the entire score? Thanks

Thanks! I can see that the file is on the computer somewhere, but only using Spotlight on Mac. When I use the regular finder, it does not appear. In Spotlight cannot click on the file to see where it is located. It seems so close...and yet so far.

I also searched for Autosave versions, and found many. They were ALL empty. So weird.
The first place I would look is in Recent Files in the file menu. Unless you have opened a lot of .mscz files it should still be listed there. If it's there, open it and use File->Score propeties to see where it's save on your computer.

Thanks, but it's not there. It's not in the list of recents that comes up in the wizard when I first launch either. Other thoughts?

Windows search box (Mac->finder) enter *.mscz
