Problem with corrupted file
After a few hours of work on a score with version 10.2 on OSX 10.7.5, Musescore started crashing each time I've tried to open the file I was working on. I don't get any error messages other than a generic "Musescore quit unexpectedly," and I'm able to open and work on other .mscz files, just not the one I need! I assume the score became corrupted somehow, and I'd be extremely grateful for any help in recovering the file -- I made sure to save my work every few minutes, but I didn't make any other copies.
Thanks very much!

Try downloading Nightly build,
seems to be a universal can opener

With that open the corrupted file, export as MusicXML and import that in 1.2 again to continue your work there.
Thanks a lot for your help! Although I was able to open the file with the latest nightly and save it as a music xml, 1.2 still crashes as soon as I try to open the .xml file. I'm able to look at the score using the nightly, and I noticed an extra small measure with nothing in it in the first system, which wasn't there before the file became corrupted. But whenever I try to delete it another one pops up next to it, and eventually the nightly force quits like 1.2 has been. I glanced through the text in the .xml file but I'm way out of my depth trying to do anything with it!

Fixed file attached (in compressed MusicXML format). Cause of the issue were weird timing jumps in measures 2 and 33. I'd like to know how these were created, to see if we can prevent this from happening again.

We remedied but not understand what happened here:

Is a job for specialists?
Hello, Franz

Hi Franz -
The issue being discussed in the Italian forum is not really related to this one, so should probably have its own thread started.
You'll also have to put it in English, for the English forum, I think. Sometimes notes are entered in another language here and we're often very fortunate that some of the "regulars" are multilingual. But I will admit that I don't know Italian, and the Google Translate of that thread told me little except that there were missing stems and flags on notes from measures 36 through 45 in the example.
I'm glad you found a workaround for it.
Best regards,
Fifist
Sally

Thanks for your help! I'm not sure where the timing jumps in those measures came from, but I was doing a fair amount of copying and pasting a bit before the file was corrupted, and I had also recently spent a few minutes adding secondary voices to certain staves. Maybe this combination had something to do with the issue?
Thanks again -- I really needed this file!
