Need advice for a file that won't open
Hello,
My 13 year old son with Autism wrote this piece of music to enter into a competition. Today he ran CCleaner on his laptop and all of his scores were deleted. I am not a MuseScore user, but he informed me that he did not save copies in the cloud or printed copies (and yes, we've now had that discussion again).
I have run some file recovery programs and recovered the attached file, but MuseScore will not open it. We would great appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.

My Google chrome won't let me download that file, probably because of it's name. Rename the file so the . at the beginning and the , at the end is not there and see if you can open it. The posted file has the name of a backup file MuseScore automatically created for just such an emergency.

Here is the file without the period and comma, thank you
Also, looking for a backup on the hard drive won't work as it appears that CCleaner deleted all of the files.

Unfortunately that file is blank. The utility that recovered it only recovered the space for it, not the data in it. Sorry.

Thank you. I was hoping that since it was 33 KB that it might contain the data

I was hopeful when I saw that as well.
