At the end of bar 97 there is a silent gap of about a bar. Very weird.
Thoughts?

Hi @sttrumpet, weird X time signatures on each bar (!) in your project, and some extra hidden rests…possibly caused by a not quite right XML.

To correct it:

  • select all

  • filter (right clicking>Filter(Select only)) for time signatures and delete

  • then manually select the double barlines (where the remaining x TS are) and delete, one by one, and delete also the x signpost at the beginning of the flow

  • insert a 6/8 at the beginning of the flow

  • with insert mode in global scope, delete the quarter rest in bar 6:

  • select all, filter for notes and chords, and uncheck both Start Voice and End Voice properties overrides (all removed/hidden rests will be visible again)

  • delete the extra bar after 97, using the System Track.

  • in bar 98, (with insert mode/global) still active, delete the quarter rest (deactivate insert mode when you are done!):

Now the file plays back cleanly, you may want to set the double barlines again, and set the desired properties for the rehersal marks.
