Musecore 4.0.2 File Corruption Error
Just installed the Musecore 4.0.2 update and have the error Error=XML_ERROR_EMPTY_DOCUMENT ErrorID=13 (0xd) Line number=0 for one of my pieces. I'm on Windows 64-bit version 10+. Any fix would be great.

Hmm, strange. Extracting the mscx and opening it with 3.6.2 shows
MSCX Error in line 1563: Invalid measure duration: -1/4
Same in a couple other lines.
Try the attached, still corrupt, but opens

I have the same issue with a score I was creating. I spent many hours putting it together and now it is corrupt with the same exact error (Error=XML_ERROR_EMPTY_DOCUMENT ErrorID=13 (0xd) Line number=0). This is the only piece I was working on during the upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2

Using version 3.6.2 opens without any error or message.
Try to open it again in 4.x
Hi. My scores have the same issue and I've done the stuff said already but its not working for me. If anyone could, could you please help me on both of these scores. They are my scores for my alvl submission (draft 1/2 which i havent finished yet) which are due end of this week. Any help is greatly appreciated thank you thank you.

Both files contain only zeros. Both are damaged beyond repair.
Try to find a backup / autosave copy on your computer.
Hiii, I hate to pile on, but I also was working on a score that was corrupted and wont open, its very frustrating. I'll attach it here like the others, if someone could somehow repair it for me (or show me how to) I would be so grateful!

This is a uncommon file name. Please rename it e.g. to 'Into the Stars.mscx'.
Or take the attached one.
It was caused because you've used a title that starts with dots. Musescore automatically gerenates the filename out of the score title. E.g. Windows can't handle that ...

Windows can handle that, But MuseScore 4 has a bug with dots in filenames
Try like this
In reply to Or like this by Jojo-Schmitz
Maybe my Win7 does not.
The download of his "...mscz" leads to file with the name "mscz" - a file with no extension.
Using your file it will be stored as "Into_the_Stars.mscz". The dots are omitted.

Yes indeed, you're right.

Open this file with a zip tool. You will find a file 'A Bond Unbroken - copy.mscx'. You can unzip it and it can be opened by MuS 3.6.2. Ignore the message that it was created by a newer version. (This works only with a *.mscx file).
But unfortunately the zip action had an error, so this file cannot be extracted.
Additionally there is a directory named 'Excerpts'. There the individual voices are contained.
You will probably have no choice but to create a new score with these instruments and open these excerpts individually and copy them into the new score.
But unfortunately the alto saxophone excerpt is also broken (no content) and there are only contents for the piccolo flute, the flute, the clarinet, for snare and bass drum as well as for the chimes in the excerpts.
Since at the beginning as well as several times in between in many measures none of these mentioned instruments are playing, there will probably be more missing.
I attach what information I could take from it. MuS 3.6.2.

Hello. I am having that same problem as well. I am working on a score version for BBC Bitesize's The Sound of Us. However, the message instead says "Error=XML_ERROR_PARSING_TEXT ErrorID=8 (0x8) Line number=1". I tried extracting it, but it then says "Error=XML_ERROR_EMPTY_DOCUMENT ErrorID=13 (0xd) Line number=0". PLEASE HELP!!!

mscz files are zipped files and there happend an error during this zip action.
Probably beyond repair. Try to find a backup copy in the .mscbackup folder.

I forgot to say that the folder ".mscbackup" is hidden. It depends on your operating system and the settings there how you can find and access it.
This folder should be in the same location as your musescore file.

In reply to The same issue, please help by DrumStyler
Your score opened fine for me. (Windows 10, MuseScore 4.0.2)
The file you attached is the mscx.
I saved it as the default mscz:
Sonatine.pdf-2.mscz
See if it works for you.

That file size shows 0 (zero) bytes. That means there's nothing there.
Look for a backup file.
I'm having a similar problem.
I can't open this file, it just closes itself after 5 seconds and doesn't even show an error message.
After converting the backup, which is also corrupted, to .zip and then to .mscx it showed the following error: Error=XML_ERROR_PARSING_TEXT ErrorID=8 (0x8) Line number=1
Anyone have an idea?
