Corrupted Measures
I was emailing support, but was told to come here. I will copy and paste was I sent to support.
This is the error message:
Incomplete measure: Part score: Guitars + Pianos+ Organs, measure 15, staff 5. Found: 0/1. Expected: 4/4.
Incomplete measure: Part score: Guitars + Pianos+ Organs, measure 22, staff 4. Found: 0/1. Expected: 4/4.
So, to recap, Musescore is telling me that I my measures are corrupted, however, the measures look exactly as they should with no missing beats and music in them.
I also want to include that the part score in question was deleted and no longer exists. I can’t open that part score to fix that because it is doesn’t exist. I imported my score into Sibelius and it worked perfectly. I’m trying to understand this problem in Musescore
I deleted an entirely perfect instrument part in hopes of fixing the issue when there was nothing wrong with the music in that instrument.
Any help is appreciate. I think I saw someone had a similar issue, but I lost the link to that forum entry. Again any help is appreciated. I just started having this issue in the past month, but I have uploaded this score before with no issues. I need the updated version for a college transfer portfolio.

I started this song from a blank score in Musescore and when I moved it into Sibelius, I exported the MIDI files. My score works perfectly in Sibelius, this is the file directly from Musescore though. It took me updating Musescore to 4 to 4.1 for it to tell me my measures were corrupted. Again, thank you for any help you have!

I extracted the mscz file with a zip tool and MuS 3.6.2 opened the included mscx file without any problems.
And yes, in the part 'Guitars + Pianos+ Organs' there are two empty measures - the have not even a rest! That is the problem.
You have created several combinations of parts, maybe there have been problems in the connection between the parts and the score.
I suggest

Addendum:
See https://musescore.org/en/node/339395 for a similar problem (and the post of Jm6stringer).
In the attached file I deleted the part score "Guitars + Pianos+ Organs", so this is missing and you need to create it again. I assume, then the file will open fine.

If I understand correctly, I need to recreate that part score then fix it from there? Or do you think it would be easier to just bring it back from Sibelius?

If it is an import from Sibelius, this could be the reason.
I suggest to delete this part and create it again. Then the error is fixed.
But the easier way (reset part) showed Jm6stringer.

Using MuseScore 4...
If you click on the Parts button in the toolbar and select the Guitars + Pianos+ Organs in the Parts dialog then click 'Open selected' you will see a completely empty measure (not even a rest shown) for measure 15 (Guitar). The same holds for measure 22 (El. Guit.).
Back in the Parts dialog, you can click on the ellipsis (three dots) to the right of the name (Guitars + Pianos+ Organs) and click on 'Reset' to fix.
Here's your (fixed) score:

Personal question:
Have you opened my modified score? I would be interested if it works in MuS 4 (I can't use MuS 4).
I only deleted this excerpt folder of Guitars + Pianos+ Organs from the mscz file.

Greetings HildeK...
Your file opens okay for me in MuS 4.1 and, as you say, the Guitars + Pianos+ Organs part is missing.
I was able to re-create that custom part with no problem. The score even survived saving and re-opening.
Of course, using the 'Reset' option in the Parts dialog of MuS 4 is the easy way. That option must have been a recent addition as it does not appear in the handbook image seen here:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/parts#renaming-duplicating-and-dele…
It is now one of the options available when the ellipsis (three dots) is clicked.

Thank you very much for your efforts, Jm6stringer! Many greetings back!
I can't use version 4 because I'm still working old-school on Win7 :-).

But the hint about resetting extracts I have read in various posts for a while. I guess the manual is also still in progress and not quite complete.
By the way this was the reason for the corruption:

Thank you for fixing it for me and telling me this. I had no idea I could reset the part scores! I don't know how everyone else was able to see the missing beats in the corrupted measures. It literally never appeared for me. Even when bringing it into Sibelius, it had no issues at all. But again thanks this helps so much!

The missing beats - correctly: the completly missing measure content - in the damaged measures were only in this one excerpt. In the main score they are correct and so there was a difference between the two. This is what caused the error message.
> I don't know how everyone else was able to see the missing beats
Not everyone else but some of us :-).
The error was not present in the main score, but only in this part.
Your error message indicated where the error can be found. I opened this file from the excerpts folder and found it.
If for one whole week no one will post something about corruption, I'll give MU4 a try.

This should not be the criterion.
And you can also have two versions installed at the same time. So: do serious work with the proven version and test a copy of it in MuS 4 as well..

FWIW, I have never had a corruption or a crash. At least on my own scores. I don't have MU3 installed.

Judging by the numbers, corruption is far less common of a problem with MU4 than any previous version of MuseScore. The improved detection is paying off so that many longstanding corruption problems that plagued previous versions are finally being fixed, and new corruption problems can be fixed almost immediately.
