Lost hours of work just because of a "Bad file descriptor" issue
Last night I saved (using "Save as" since direct using "Save" gives bad file descriptor") the file with No. 46 incomplete. But now when I open the score, my No. 46 is gone and No. 45 incomplete.
IDK what caused a "Bad file descriptor" error since some days ago I restored factory settings.

But unfortunately every recovered scores have lost works. Before I close Musescore I saved as a new store in the same location as it stored.
You shouldn't be getting "bad file descriptor" errors on a normal save. This could possibly be a sign of a failing hard drive. Anyhow, not sure what you mean about 45 vs 46, I don't see any such numbering in the filename you attached? Saving versions using numbers would be a good idea, but I am not sure what you actually did here?

Pieces within his file are numbered, and indeed #45 has blank measures at the end and there is no #46.

OK, but then what isn't clear is, when he did "save as", what specific folder did he choose, what specific filename, and is this in fact the same file from the same folder as he saved? Actually, to me it's perfectly clear the answer is no to the latter part of that question. So the key to recovery will be, remembering which specific folder and which specific filename he did save to.

I was just confirming the contents of his file.
A quick google seems to point to this error being more of a Linux thing. But yes, the question certainly how is he saving files. And what is causing the error on save. So you need to know what he's doing step by step.

That score has not been created on Linux though, but on Windows. And bad file descriptors potentially exist on any OS
