Score File Corrupted! Is there any way to get it back??
I've been working on this piece for a long time and I need to submit it for a college music supplement very soon! I have Musescore 1.2 for Windows 7 and none of my other files have been corrupted. I've tried putting the file on a flash drive and opening it on a different computer and I've tried opening a back-up from the restore point, but that was also corrupted.
Is there any way to save it? Please help!

A few possibilities:
- tTry the backup file MuseScore created in the same folder as your main file the last time you successfully saved. Would have the same name but a period in front and a comma at the end.
- I think MuseScore autosaves versions to use in recovery, somewhere in \Users\\AppData on Windows (presumably somethng similar exists on other systems.
- if you post the corrupted score, there are people who are pretty good at uncorrupting them, *if* the file is still a valid archive file. Try opening the file in a program that opens ZIP files to see if you see an MSCX file inside the archive.
In reply to A few possibilities: - tTry by Marc Sabatella
Another option: try to open it in a recent nightly build. If that works, export as xml and open that in 1.2
If you attach the file one of us may be able to slvage something, provided it's not too badly corrupted.
