The issue does not specify in detail what the problem actually is. Am I correct in assuming you refer to the following two problems:
1) the choir part contains two brackets and a brace instead of a bracket and a square
2) the piano part contains two braces instead of one ?

Title [MusicXML] import of brackets ⇒ Brackets not imported correctly from MusicXML
Status (old) active ⇒ needs info

I've just been looking at the source of the XML attachment in #22628: crash on Layout->Page settings after importing MusicXML file

The following line from the source may be significant???:

<software>Direct export, not from Dolet</software>

ISTR that there have been problems with Sibelius 7 generated XML before.

It also may be significant that importing this file into 1.3 also generates multiple braces.

Have you also noticed that all the elements in the lower four parts are invisible except for stems and beams?

The attached file is legal MusicXML (at least with respect to the brackets, I did not check for other issues). It is unusual as it explicitly specifies the brace for the piano part. Normally this is left implicit. MuseScore (any version) does not handle this correctly, resulting in one superfluous brace for each multi-staff part. This is simply a MuseScore bug that has to be fixed.

The square bracket is new in the trunk, but not yet supported by the MusicXML importer and exporter. Once again, simply a MuseScore bug that has to be fixed.

Correction: the attached file contains a "line" bracket, which is not (yet) supported by MuseScore. I'll add it. Square brackets are supported by MuseScore including MusicXML import/export.
