Description

its a piano transcription from Keith Jarrett that I did with an old version of Overture. Musescore 3.6.1 cannot open it, either 4.0. As it is not possible to attach .ove files here, here is the link to a Musescore Thread

Start with the linked MuseScore thread and the referenced old Overture (.ove) file. Reproduce the failure in MuseScore 3.6.1 or 4.0 and identify the relevant import entry point; done means the supplied transcription opens correctly.
