Crash corrupted file-- Please help!
I've been working on a very big project for hours today, and I've been saving regularly to avoid losing any work. But as I was clicking save, musescore crashed (it was a C++ error, so it said). No biggie, it used to happen all the time. So I went back to re-open it and an error message appeared-- it said there was an error reading the file because it was a bad file! I panicked and rebooted my computer, and the same thing came up! My other files are working, but not my big project. Being the first day, I didn't back it up. Could I please get help for this, I don't want to have to start all over!

Could you attach the corrupt file to a comment on this topic?

Okay, here it is, along with the automatically created backup file. What worries me is that it's suddenly so small-- originally it was a huge file, with images inside as well as 1000+ measures (though most were empty). I was putting it together for my own uses and to help someone out with a production (so don't worry, I won't publicly post it on the site, I wouldn't infringe copyright like that :). Note that it wouldn't be an issue for me to start this over, so if it's beyond repair or if it would take a while to fix don't worry about it. It would be no problem for me to start again. Thanks!
the first file (64.5 KB) is a blank page;
the second file (190.49 KB) contains a few notes.
I am attaching but I fear that there is little to do

Thank you very much for your efforts! I suppose I'll just start over. No problem, I guess you do better the second time around anyway. But this time I'll regularly save backups. :)

Might also be a good idea to split your piece in several files

I thought about that, but for now I think I'll leave it as is. I have a saving cyle now between two files. Every few times I save I'll save to the opposite file, back and forth. I actually had another crash already and it's saved me a lot of work.
