Corrupt mscz score

• Mar 27, 2025 - 16:09

Hello,
I recently created a new score and exported the parts. I can open all the pdf parts but there must have been a problem when I saved the score as it is now in a folder called .mscbackup and when I try to open it MS4 gives me a message that it cannot read the file due to an unknown file type. Is there a way to recover the data - I assume the file has been corrupted? Many thanks. Chris.

Backup files have a different file extension in Musescore so that they can be distinguished. There is a ‘~’, a comma or *.mscz.autosave appended to it, depending on the version and operating system.

But during the installation of Musescore, only the extension *.mscz is assigned to the program.
