Musescore 4 Autosave Location Mac
Where is the default autosave location on Mac for Musescore 4? Musescore crashed while I was working, and now the file is corrupted and every time I try to open it Musescore crashes again. I am hoping to find an earlier autosave of the file. The file is attached in case anyone else can open it.
(Edit - I initially attached the incorrect file; the correct, corrupted file is now attached)

I was unable to open either of the first two attached scores in MS4.0. However the one submitted/repaired by shoichi opened without problem! (MacOS Ventura 13.0)

The file submitted by shoichi opened just fine for me as well. It would be great if there was a more elegant solution, but its good to know that files corrupted on one OS can sometimes be saved by being opened and re-saved on a different OS.

Maybe it's just a matter of Nightly
(But I'm just a layman)
Edit
For the record: On Windows MU4 crashes.
So I changed the extension to *.zip, extracted and then opened Lute 1 (reconstr.).
The audio (same PC) is messed up :(

I ignore why, but on Nightly it plays better.

If you don't mind, could you do the same with this file (open it in Linux, re-save, and post it back here)? It has also corrupted and is crashing Musescore as of just now.

From MU4 export as Musicxml, you can open the file with 3.6.2.

Normally I would try that, but the issue here was that the file kept crashing MU4, so I could never open the file in order to export it in the first place

It's happened once again. This time I downloaded the latest Nightly for Mac, and the corrupted file also crashed that program. The corrupted file is attached.

HI Shoichi, both of these files have now corrupted. Would you be willing to open the and re-save form Linux? Thank you.

I can't open it the second file (SC60)

But isn't this the same file in the comment above (2/1/2023)?

It is the same file as above, but I did a significant amount of work on it since 2/1/2023 that is now lost if I can't open it.

I'm sorry but I can't. If I unzip it the content shows like this:
![23010504.png]( "23010504.png")
and the lock icon seems to indicate a protected file.
Perhaps someone else can do more. Where and how did you save it?
