Extensions and MuseScore

When I wrote my dissertation, I also began the creation of multiple editions of Taneyev's choral music.

Then my computer hard drive went wonky.

But never fear-- because I back up my stuff!

So I bought a new computer, transferred all my documents, and cleared off my old computer.

Today I'm attempting to finish two editions so they can be performed in a month and a half.  I am not too worried about time because they are almost done, so I had planned on doing that today.

Except-- the documents are gone.  I can't find them on my computer or my back-up.  Oh wait, I have them on my Google Drive, and they have the correct music score extension, but when I download them to my computer and try to open them in MuseScore, it doesn't work.

This will be okay, but I'm definitely not excited about this.

Update: Through the help of a dear friend, I was able to get the files to open!  The magic of uninstalling and reinstalling MuseScore.
