[Denemo-devel] data loss disaster (imminent)

[Bric]

i have a denemo file that won't open with any version.  The recent 2.0.1 
binary, my old 1.2.4, my local 2.0.1 build.  Same opening "failed" 
message in all three.

On the command line i see "opening file <path to file>.denemo"
success: 1

ironically

I still have the *.denemo file, but I can't tell what's wrong with it, 
looking at the code, and no explanatory error messages available.

I stand to lose many hours of work here.

What happened was: I was editing about 80 bars of on-staff score, adding 
chord symbols; denemo crashed, then when i reopened it, i was counting 
on auto-save, which is on for me (every 5 seconds, i think).  I opted to 
restore from auto-save, and that loaded an empty file.


I closed the empty file without saving, and tried to open the *.denemo 
file, and the open action fails.  I am looking at the XML, it seems OK 
at cursory glance, and I don't know why it's being rejected.
