Thank you for your fast answer. I checked the settings and automatic saving was actually enabled, but the folder was empty. All I have is the .bak file.
In the meantime I tried opening my file with a HEX editor. It is completely blank. Hex00 from start to end. Same for the .bak file. Looks like there is nothing to be salvaged.
I feel like crying. Maybe I should write a song about it, har har...
I just spend several days writing a SATB score. This morning my Windows system crashed and I had to force my laptop to reboot. Now my file won't open anymore. Same with the backup file.
I get no messages from NWC to help me analyze the problem. It just sits there and ignores my request to open the file.
Other files (also self-made) open without problems.
Any ideas how I can analyze and/or repair the file? Anyone? Please!!! I'm really in deep s**t here. I don't even have a hardcopy of the score!
