MuseScore 4 MusicXML import does not display correct number of staves
I run Windows 11 and used MuseScore to import a MusicXML file generated by another program. MuseScore 3 correctly imports the file (see attachment) whereas MuseScore 4, with the same MusicXML file, does not capture the top (vocal) line. Is this a MuseScore 4 bug or an option that can be configured?
Software used:
MuseScore-4.0.1.230121751-x86_64 Without MuseHub.msi -- upgraded to 4.0.2
and
MuseScore-3.3.0-x86_64.msi
Thanks, Bill

Please share the xml file
(and note that 3.3.0 is very outdated, better use 3.6.2)

I am using MuseScore 4 but when I encountered this issue\feature I downloaded version 3 to see if it was version related.
I've attached the XML to this email.

Confirmed, 3.6.2 (and my 3.7) load it just fine (with 'Hide empty staves' checked and 'Don't hide empty staves in 1st system' unchecked), 4.0.2 as well as the lastest development builds don't

Actually 4.x does load it, but hides that staff, to fix go into the instruments tab and click on that closed eye symbol
Apparently the import here looses those Hide empty staves' settings. Not a big deal, but certainly confusing.
And IIRC you're not the 1st to report this

Thank you Jojo! I am new to MuseScore 4 and had no idea what was happening or how to address the issue.
