Invalid bar length error
I was working on a file in MuseScore Evolution , saved it, then when I tried to open it next day I got: see uploaded docx file).
Usually I get 3 options when a file is corrupted 'Ignore", "Show details" and 'cancel"etc. I would open 'Show details', see where the problem is, click 'ignore' which opens up the file , and then fix it, which I always manage to do. Now in this case I open 'show details' - the problem is shown but there is no 'ignore' to try to fix it. I have gone into file history, but all the same files come up with this. Same thing if I go into .mscbackup. Is there anything I can do?

Attach the .mscz file instead, it will be more useful.

Can you explain what you did to fix this?

As always (or often), by editing the .mscx file in a text editor for fixing the wrong length measures.

I see. How did you determine where the measure was in the file and how did you fix it? Sorry for so basic a question. I see several lines about bars at the beginning of the file.

Only 3.7 reports an invalid measure length (120/160) in the mscx line 1712.
If you search for this line in the mscx file, which you have extracted with a zip tool, with the editor and replace 120/160 with 3/4 and continue to search for the string "measure lenght = 120/160", you will find this about 10 times. You have to replace it everywhere.
However, MuS 4.4.4 does not report any useful information in "Show Details" ...
