Hi,
I save a project, and when I try to open it later, I can't open it, and I get this message:
Error opening project
Error: not well-formed at line 7
Do you have any advice on how to fix this?
Thanks,
CH

I can give you the standard advice to always Export As WAV any time you have valuable work--including live performance captures. You join a very large club of people who don't realize how brittle and delicate an Audacity Project is.
From the time you Save Project and go home until you open it all up again, you can't change anything having to do with your show. No moving files around to clean up or organize and certainly no deleting sound clips or files. Audacity Projects are Production Management Environments, not sound files and they can contain thousands of different files sprayed over your computer.
Mess anything up anywhere and your show turns to dust. This makes it all but impossible to move or email a Project.
