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.
