Musescore 4.4 Corrupting Scores

• Aug 31, 2024 - 06:16

Displays file is corrupted but is able to open still. When exporting as MusicXML musescore 3 displays the corruption as:

Fatal error: line 25 column 20 Element concert-score is not defined in this scope.

Any help to fix this would be appreciated, as this score will be performed soon and I can't afford to lose the hours of progress since last backup

And the mscz
This might be a garbage in, garbage out case, exporting a corrupted score will result in a broken xml

Incomplete bar: Part score: Flute 2, bar 4, stave 1. Found: 13/12. Expected: 4/4.

Fixed in the attached, by sesetting that part (which might have lost formatting, so re-check)

Hi, thanks so much Jojo.

Is there any chance you could correct the attached more recent mxl? I spent a few hours working on orchestration after uploading the last xml so would appreciate it so much!!!

The mxl isn't broken, at least the last wasn't.
And fixing corruptions only makes sense for mscz files

One problem is that MuseScore 4.4 doesn't check MusicXML files properly, it doesn't valiadate them against the schema, see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/23726
All prior version do

Culprit XML:

  <defaults>
    <scaling>
      <millimeters>3.3</millimeters>
      <tenths>40</tenths>
      </scaling>
    <concert-score/>

As per https://www.w3.org/2021/06/musicxml40/musicxml-reference/elements/conce… there's nothing wrong with it though, as far as I can tell

My MuseScore 3.7 Evolution doesn't complain about it, but it been updated for accepting MusicXML 4.0.
So the MusicXML is perfectly OK apparently, despite stemming from a corrupt mscz (?)
