This is the error message it gives me:

The zip is corrupted (end damaged)

@glleee
Your file apparently contains no meaningful data: it's really very small compared with a score file with real music. Sorry, but I don't think that there is any data to recover.

You did attach a file with the extension .mscz which is basically a zip archive/file. It should contain an .mscx file - the MuseSore music - and other files relating to style etc. Your .mscz file is incomplete and either does not contain an .mscx file or the code is disrupted and the .mscx file cannot be found and read.

Unfortunately... My backup is affected by the same error message; hence, why I am stumped. Maybe this one contains the .mscx file? I'm not sure how or why it would not contain the right content.

Sorry, there is no mscx file included either.

Hi I also need help please!! I'm also curious about how you're doing this, but I'm also more concerned about this school project I was working on, so right now I care more about the results than the process.

Never mind, I found the problem, it was the issue of having the autosaves somehow in the same folder as the original file. All I had to do was delete the autosave files and it fixed itself.

Wow! Thank you so much sir.
I love musescore. It's repaired indeed. May God bless and keep you!

That's really unfortunate, but thanks for trying to help. I checked my musescore backups, which contains the file as an MSCZ~ File. I can't seem to open it with anything, and I can't even share it as an attachment. This is similar for all the backups Musescore 4 makes for me by the way. Is there anything I'd be able to retrieve from that file?

I see, thanks. Unfortunately the backup also contains nothing but zero's, but thanks for helping.
Hi, I also have this issue and I'm not sure how to fix or attempt to repair it (Even though I've read the instructions I can't make heads nor tails of them). If anyone could help that'd be greatly appreciated.
I've also added my current Muse score diagnostic files. If that also helps.
