I cannot reproduce. Could you please describe the scenario (step by step, to which measure should I add the frame, what is the expected behaviour, what is current behaviour)? If you were able to record a gif, it would help a lot.

So it's not deleting a brace, it is merely not creating a new one after the horizontal frame?

This may have been deliberate; I know we don't treat this as a new system anymore in several respects. But obviously, we do reproduce the clef etc. If most people feel they want to see the brace repeated after the frame, we could certainly consider it. Might be best to ask on the for opinions on the Development forum.

Okay Mark. Bug or feature, for me the result is the same. But I understand that it is a decision that does not correspond to me.

I guess you have to resort again to insert graphics to write something like an incipit

Or that this kind of examples for publications will require creating two files instead of just one as could be done in MuseScore 2.

In my modest opinion what would be better for everyone and for the software in particular is to be able to choose whether to show or not.

Sorry for the confusion

Thanks for the clarification. Obviously we would continue show them at the beginning of a system, horizontal rame or no, the question is only about what to do about mid-system breaks. For some purposes (like those you show), it's what you want; for others (like inserting stage instructions in an opera, say) it might not be. But, it's probably better to include them and then people can make them invisible if they don't want.
