damaged file

• Jan 14, 2014 - 22:09

Hello!

I worked very hard and dozens of hours on this file.
All of a sudden, I could not work on the file any more or even open the program.
It always shut down.

I work with one of the latest nightly builds on a new Macbook Air - no problems until today.

Do you see any chance to just open the file and print it down. I don´t to do all this again.

Thanks for any help.

I can see it crashes because of something to do with trying to figure out what measure some beam or other is in. I don't know enough about such things to say more. All I can do is suggest you try opening the backup (filename beginning with ".") and see if you can get that back. Or see if an older nightly works.

Realistically, this is part of why there are so many warnings about not trying to use the nightly builds for real work. I don't let that stop me either, but if you're going to work that long on a single score, you should definitely save multiple versions.
