score opens as blank sheet
Opening
https://musescore.com/user/12942856/scores/5137892
in 2.2.9 shows just a blank sheet, pressing I show no instrument at all.
Same score opens just fine in 2.2.1
Adding an instrument shows just a single measure
Extracting the mscx from the mscz manually (using 7Zip) and opening that works fine.
Presumably something about the filename encoding went horribly wrong (it contains umlauts, 2 * "ü")
Might be a Windows only issue?
Possible related to #271248: Downloaded Musescore file but only opens blank screen. from the submitter's musescore.com accound I found another score with the same symptoms:

possibly related topics from the forum:
These two attached scores open as expected yesterday June 19, with this nightly: 9aa4bb2
But are blank when opening with the next one: d41ed2a
Hmm, then my bet is on the thirdparty/qzip/qzip.cpp changes, unfortunately it is quite large
Matches the workaround of manually unpacking the mscx from the mscz and being able to open that without an issue
Interestingly the two files opens flawlessly for me on macosx.
Probably some encoding issue...
Which seemed to have been the case for those other forum topics I mentioned
In this file: ( Schumann_Clara_6_Lieder_Op_23_No_4_Auf_einem_grunen_Hugel.mscz ), the first instrument is Voice, but the sound is Oboe in Mixer.
By changing instrument in staff Properties (ie Voice for Voice), or simply by changing sound in mixer (ie Choir Aahs instead of Oboe), the problem is solved and the file opens with: d41ed2a
I really doubt the instrumentation to be the reason

An for this one: Itsumo_Nando_Demo_for_Harp_and_Flute.mscz , in mixer, instrument and sound are consistent.
But also here, by changing the first instrument (flute here) in staff properties, ie Flute for Flute - or the second instrument, ie Harp for Harp - the issue is solved, and the file opens as expected with : d41ed2a
I suspect the resaving is the key to the fix

Indeed.
By opening and resaving these files with 9aa4bb2, they open well with d41ed2a

Yes, as always (Win 7 and 10)

I suspect Cadiz1 may be on to something in his comment here about the sound change. In #273507: Crash on score containing drum track with no drumset, the only thing I did was change the sound on some of the drums in the mixer. I suspect the issues are related.

Definitely not (and don't suspect for me!) The dates have nothing to do. The question of drums, if you read what I said, appeared in mid-May. What we are talking about now is June 19th (my first idea was possibly to think about the commits of that day related to a new way to install soundfont - and templates).
But , as Jojo suspected, simply saving the file again solves the current issue.
