Thank you (and to others) that offered to send a test file. I've received the following from MakeMusic:
Make music tech "I looked over the file and it looks like it is damaged. To fix it, open the file and go to the File menu >> MusicXML >> Export. Next, close the original version of the file. Go back to the File menu >> MusicXML >> Import, select the recently exported file and click Open. This should solve the error you are receiving. Please feel free to respond to this case if you have any further questions about this issue." I did all of the above in 2010 and it does work. So, for the handful of new files I recently started in 2009, this solves that issue. I can update my templates the same way. In the past I've converted all my old files to the most current version to keep everything up to date. However, this time the task of exporting/importing/saving thousands of files may change my mind and maybe I'll just keep 2008, 2009 & 2010 all running on the same system. Hopefully that's not a problem. I'd like to know how so many files got damaged (at least 20 far that I've tried to open have given me problems).
