Broken musicxml file
I downloaded the musicxml file for Capriccio Espagnol at https://musescore.com/chiefyblues/scores/5802537 and Sibelius, Finale and another program all report that the file is broken. Is it possible to get a good version?

I don't know how that helps me - that's not my score. Can you please reach out to the author and get them to fix it?
The score
https://musescore.com/chiefyblues/scores/5802537
is not corrupt, but apparently its MusicXML on musescore.com?
Capalle Reader can't ipmport it at all, MuseScore does, after you dismiss an error:
Fataler Fehler: Zeile 446020 Spalte 10 Ungültig an dieser Stelle ' '.
Still if downloaded as mscz and export to mxl in MuseScore, then imported again:
Fataler Fehler: Zeile 28383 Spalte 27 Das Element tie ist in diesem Bereich nicht definiert.
Seems a less serious issue, capella reader accepts it without any complaint

Hi Jojo - thanks for taking the time to look at this. Do you mind sending me your corrected MusicXML file? I want to import it into Sibelius. michael@drapkin.net

Thanks - I tried doing the same thing and get the same error message from Sibelius - "This is not a MusicXML and cannot be loaded: Element cue is not defined in this scope"
Is MuseCore buggy in how it generates MusicXML files?

Apparently so, but also Sibelius seems stricter than MuseScore, which allows to load the file regardless of that error. Also strange that we're now having different MusicXML errors.

What version of Sibelius are you trying to open this in. I have 7.5. It is stubborn about opening mxl files from MuseScore. It won't even recognize Musicxml form MuseScore. Here's what happens to Jojo's mxl.
Sibelius indeed gives the warning you posted, I clicked OK or whatever the button says and after a few seconds a notification that Sibelius was loading the score came up. this lasted a few minutes followed by a warning that this seemed to be an very old version of musicxml. There would probably be mistakes and things Sibelius couldn't read. Did I want to continue. Yes. and Sibelius opened the score. It looks OK but I don't have the original to compare. I can't post a sib file here, but if you have a full version of Sibelius and not one of the lesser ones, you should be able to open the mxl. Just be patient.

I have Sibelius version 2019.12 - the current one.
When I try what you suggest, the load window is modal and does not allow me to dismiss the warning popup - I can't click the button. Do you mind emailing me the .sib file? michael@drapkin.net

Sure. But how do you get past the warning if there is no OK or other button to dismiss it?

BIG kudos to Bob for sending me the converted Sibelius file, and to all of your for being so responsive and thoughtful!
The file downloaded from musescore.com is indeed invalid MusicXML. It was generated by MuseScore 3.2.3 and schema validation produces a (correct) "Fatal error: line 446020 column 10 Unexpected ' " error'.
Converting the MuseScore file to MusicXML using the current MuseScore (3.5 dev) also produces invalid MusicXML but results in a different error: "Fatal error: line 28383 column 27 Element tie is not defined in this scope.".
This means there is at least one error to be fixed in MuseScore.

I was able to open, like you, this corrupted file with MuseScore 3.4.2 and Finale 25 by ignoring the errors.
Finale is the most explicit about the errors:
