I created a musicXML 2.0 file from PDFtoMusicPro. (PUPscore.mxl)
When I imported it in Musescore 1.1 or the latest nightly 2.0.0 version, all the rests were gone!
Importing the same file in Finale Notepad 2012 created no problem at all (PUPFinaleImport.pdf )

Title [MusicXML] measure-style -> multiple-rest is not import/exported [MusicXML] [1.2] measure-style -> multiple-rest is not import/exported

At least according to Sun's Multi-Schema XML Validator, the attached file is invalid, as empty measures are not allowed. Nevertheless, both Finale and Sibelius import the file without problems or error messages.

For compatibility, it is probably best for MuseScore to also interpret empty measures as whole measure rests.

Implemented simple fix where empty measures are automatically converted to (hidden) full-measure rests.
