Please, o please, better recovery :(
While i love musescore, it sometimes brings me to tears.
Quite often i am doing something beyond simple melodic lines and musescore will stb on me. If i hadn't saved recently, that's a lot of work gone. Yes, going back in will sometimes recover some of the work for me, but i haven't had consistent luck.
If there could be a log file of some sort that i could feed back in (or it checks automatically, whatever) to actually recover my work to the point it died, i would be so happy. By opening and closing the log often (shouldn't be much of a resource waste between each action i do) it should be up to date. If that file could be edited with a text editor to remove the last step -- presumably the straw that broke the camels back -- that would be totally cool.
I suppose an alternative would be to just have it save versions at some user-specified interval (personally, i'd have it happen every min) keeping maybe n versions around.
Thanks.

Finally found the Auto Save that i missed that in my numerous sweeps through preferences (even before the post), thanks for the clue!!
In case you're not using MuseScore version 1.0, upgrade first since a lot of bugs have been fixed.

Even tried the latest nightly build....and that was worse.

Nightly builds are currently in complete flux and unstable. Don't make a judgement on the nightlies currently.
