file cannot open
I am very new in this forum and looking for someone to help me. Yesterday, after a large correction of my recent score( that I have put a lot of work into) I suddenly could not open the file anymore. The programm Muse score would immediatly close. All other files seem to open it is only this one that does not open. I tried to download the nightly build, but it didnt work for my version of mac. Id be very thankful if someone could help me. Here is the file!

The file is corrupt (and MuseScore says so when opening it):
Measure 9 Staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 7/4; Found: 15/8
Measire 10 Staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 7/4; Found: 132/72
It does then open it.
This file apparently was created/last saved with MuseScore 1.2 on Windows (strange, you say you're on a Mac?), which doesn't report corruptions.
It is outdated since several years now, we're at MuseScore 2.0.3 now, and even in th 1.x branch we had a 1.3, which may hae that bug fixed that causes 1.2 to crash on that file.
There's indeed an 8th note too much in measure 9 and those nested tuplets in measure 10 do look rather strange too (timesig is 7/4, nominal and actual):
Probably done via copy/paste, which indeed, esp. in 1.x, was a way to corrupt scores. I see no weasone to not upgrade at least to 1.3, but you should also consider switching to 2.0.3 (I'd keep 1.3 around though, both version can coexist and even be used at the same time on the same machine). May not be an option of really old Macs though, for 1.x see https://musescore.org/en/download#For-older-versions-of-Mac-OS-X
MuseScore 1.3 BTW does not crash on it.
Attached a fixed version with those 2 corrupt measures emptied, as I'm not sure about the desired content, you may re-enter them using the imague above

Hey thank you so much! yes many things do not make much sense as you wrote before. But these strange ghost things seem to happen sometimes. I will follow youre indications for the upgrade. Thanks again:)
