Yes, and I am aware of that, but what I don't understand is why three backups of the corrupted file went bad all at once. As I was working on the score, I had three backups, one of them was the auto saved ".asv.mus", saved just a few minutes before. Finale became irresponsive and I had to force quit. When I tried to open the file, after restart, I got the error message. So I double clicked first the "asv.mus" backup, which gave me the same error (weird...) then I tried a "saved as" from about 10 minutes before, with no luck, and then a backup on another disk, of about 20 minutes before. Same error -39 in all files. Any ideas?
