Error

• Jul 28, 2024 - 02:33

I've been trying to access this file for a while now and I get this error:
Error=XML_ERROR_EMPTY_DOCUMENT ErrorID=13 (0xd) Line number=0
I entered the ms.backup file and it still appears corrupt, I checked my OneDrive backup and same error. Unfortunately, uploading files to musescore does not work for me, so when I try to upload it and try again it sends me the same error.
Please, if anyone has a similar error, let me know. This is a very important file to me.

Corrupt is when there is data but it is unreadable or readable with errors. In you files, there is no musical data.

Thank you for your response. What should I do?

When saving a file, MuseScore tries to generate a backup of the old version of the file before writing the newest version to your disk. This backup is stored in a .mscbackup subfolder within the same folder as where the file is saved. This folder is hidden; to make it visible, do the following:
- on macOS, press Cmd+Shift+. (dot)
- on Windows, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-hidden-files-and-folde…

Within this folder, you can hopefully find a backup of your file. However, this backup can't be opened directly. To open it:
- copy it to a different folder
- rename that copy by replacing mscz~ at the end of the filename with mscz.

Then you should be able to open this copy of the backup in MuseScore.
