"This score is invalid"

• Mar 27, 2024 - 21:30

I've never had problems with this file whatsoever, but yesterday and today it's been acting funny. When I go to open it, it gives me the following prompt: (Screen shot attached)

I also can't update the online version of it that I uploaded months ago.

That didn't work for me. It's saved to the cloud, and an old copy from months ago is saved locally but is missing half of the new stuff I added. On my profile I have it uploaded unlisted, the audio for the file is correct, but the score stops halfway through, I truly don't know what's wrong with it.

A general question:

If I want to open my own score with existing access rights in MuS 4, then the score is first downloaded and cached on my local disk. Only then can MuseScore open it and determine whether the file is damaged.

This is certainly the case with MuS 3. The file is then located in the download folder. Can anyone confirm this for MuS 4? I would be surprised if this is not the case.
Because then it would be no problem to find the file with the error message and attach it here.

Your links say more about saving than about opening a score from the cloud.

I'll try to clarify my question:
If you go to musescore.com with your web browser, select a score and apply "Download -> Open in Musescore", then the file will be saved in the downloads folder of your computer - if you have the rights to do so. Only then can the Musescore program open the file and detect and report any errors. Because the extension 'mscz' is registered in the computer (or browser), Musescore is automatically started and attempts to load it.

And then the file must also be found there, regardless of which Musescore version you are using, and could be attached here for examination.

Could you verify that?

Yes, that is what occurs for me. (Windows 10, Microsoft Edge browser).
I have no cloud scores at all, and I only download scores that are uploaded to dotcom and made available by others. If the download is successful, the score appears in my downloads folder. Then I can open that local copy with the MuseScore program.

So, you mean opening your own score (i.e., your own cloud score) through dotcom, yes?
Perhaps these "invalid" cloud scores cannot even get from dotcom into the downloads folder - in which case, that automatically saved local copy must be located (and possibly moved/copied to a different folder to kill the online sync).

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Thank you. Whether it's my own file that I uploaded myself or some public domain scores makes no difference if I access it with the browser.

But my question regarding MuS 4 (I can't use it) was about whether opening a cloud file within musescore takes a different route - without using the download folder as a cache.

My only concern is how the TO can attach a copy of his existing file stored at musescore.com in the cloud here for examination. I have no pro account on musescore.com so I cannot investigate this problem.
The notes are ending at 3:45 minutes but the playback sound continues through 6:44 minutes.
Maybe he has uploaded an audio file (checkbox: upload score audio) but used an older, not yet finished score for the notes?

Well, we both can attempt the free trial... ;-)
LOL!

@itzryan13245...
Have you tried HildeK's suggestion to see if a "good" copy is available using the "Download" button your link shows here:

Download the MIDI version and import it into Musescore. There is a good chance that the entire score can be restored. You will have to redo the formatting.
Of course the audio won't help, probably not the xml version either.
But I would give xml a try, because if it's complete, it's better than MIDI.
