error in opening .mscz-file from windows10 with musiscore4 under mac
Hi,
I am newby in musiscore.
I got a .mscz-file from a reliable Windows10-user, together with a (.sf3-file and a .drm-file).
When I try to open the .mscz-file I get this message:
"Datei xyz.mscz ist korrumpiert" / "file xyz.mscz is corrupted"
With the further explication:
Error=XML_ERROR_EMPTY_DOCUMENT ErrorID=13 (0xd) Line number=0
The file is working at the system of my reliable friend, who has sent it to me. He uses windows10 and my newly installed Musiscore4 runs under macOS 14.1
Is anything wrong how I have arranged the received files in my file-system? I upload a screenshot of my file-system here:

Please share the score
thanks for the first answer:
I received a score-file named: bongo español.mscz
I renamed it later, to avoid the blank and the unusual character/letter "ñ":
But after renaming it to bongoesp.mscz I get the same result.
I upload here the original file:

Interesting, it is a MuseScore 3.6.2 score, apparently with a pre-3.6 history.
As it came with a soundfont and a drm file, I guess you'd need to use it with MuseScore 3(.6.2),
But try Mu4 on the attached

Culprit seems to be the name of the mscx inside the mscz (which is a ZIP archive in disguise), it starts with 2 dots, "..bongo español.mscx", seems Mu4 can't handle that.

Actually no, apparently its not the leading dots, but the difference in the encoding of the ñ in the mscz files' META-INF/container.xml

Thank you for the quick answers!
The modified file, you sent me, works with my Mu4
So - in the short run, you recomend me to download ms3.6 at
https://musescore.org/en/3.6
if I want to continue to work with the latin guy who prefers filenames with "ñ" ?
Or should I just wait for 2 or 3 days in the hope, the problem will get fixed via software-patch?
I am open to any short-term solution.

It sure won't be fixed in 2 or 3 days, not in any release for sure.

Mu3 and Mu4 work fine and in parallel, so having 3.6.2 ready just for cases like this might be a good strategy.

But don't take 3.6.0 from the above page, take 3.6.2, from https://musescore.org/en/3.6.2
