Well, I didn't spot the problem - lasconic did :-)
"Bad format" is, I guess, a type of corruption too, but not one that is
normally ever seen except when testing broken code :-). Or, I guess,
sometimes if trying to take a file created in one build and opening it an
an earlier build that lacks the necessary support for the new construct you
are testing. We normally use file version numbers to keep this from being
an issue with actual releases - rather than reporting "bad format",
MuseScore will simply detect the file is created with a too-new version of
MuseScore. So if you make a change that will cause older versions of
MuseScore to not be able to read the file any more, you are supposed to
bump the version number.
The one type of "bad format" errors we do occasionally see in real life has
to do with unescaped "&" characters in strings. There are periodically
bugs where "&" in an instrument name or whatever will get written to the
file as a literal rather than as an XML entity, and this will result in a
file that can't be laoded unless you hand-edit the file. One such bug in
2.0 was just reported and subsequently fixed within the past week -
