The .MSCZ file is a compressed score file created with MuseScore, a popular notation software designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. It is the native file format of MuseScore and used to store various musical compositions and arrangements. This format contains the musical scores, instrument parts, lyrics, notes, dynamics, time signature, key signatures as well as any relevant settings or adjustments made by the composer. The .MSCZ format is similar to the .MUSX, .MXL, and .XML formats as they are all music notation file formats.
Compression Details
The .MSCZ file is compressed into a standard ZIP archive which can be decompressed using built-in tools in all major desktop operating systems or third-party software such as WinZip or 7-Zip. Inside this archive is an XML document that contains the musical composition and settings in an XML-structured file along with the instrument recordings in a WAV format. Decompressing the archive will then convert the contents to an editable MuseScore document allowing for further editing of the piece.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MSCZ) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .MSCZ extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .MSCZ file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .MSCZ extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .MSCZ extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MSCZ file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MSCZ file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .MSCZ file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MSCZ file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MSCZ file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
