File 46a-Barlines.xml in Reinhold Kainhofers unofficial MusicMXL testsuite when imported in MuseScore contains multi-measure rests that are not present in the MusicXML file.


Comments

Previously the MusicXML exporter unconditionally set the "general style / create multi measure rests" option. This leads to unexpected results, as all sequential measures containing only rests will turn into multi-measure rests.

Disabled this behaviour, thus the MusicXML importer honors (and leaves unchanged) the global multi-measure rest setting. The measure flags that mark the boundaries of multi-measure rests ("measure properties / break multi-measure rests") are still imported.

If multi-measure rests are desired, just set the "general style / create multi measure rests" option.
