Description

Your idea

Why don't we offer some options for default format, or just prompt something when a multi-part score has created by a user to inform the potential risk? I request this since lots of my mates have been annoyed by saving issues.

Problem to be solved

For the users who use MuseScore to build massive projects, they don't want to have any accident when saving their projects. Once the accident takes place, it will make the score corrupted, or, even worse, lose all score data. On this stage, they cannot reopen the autosave file.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how multi-part scores are saved, autosaved, and assigned MuseScore formats; define done as an agreed default, option, or prompt that addresses corruption and makes autosaves reopenable, then validate it against a large-project scenario.
