Write a score with changing time signatures and make parts. Parts are littered with double time signatures and there is no work-around I've found.

Status duplicate needs info

With which scenario?
Please provide precise steps to reproduce (and attach a score showing it)

I would expect existing scores that already have the duplicate to still contain it, but the problem should not present itself in new scores or newly-added time signatures or newly-added parts.

@Marc Sabatella, Might be so. I tried to replicate the issue with a new score and could not. The existing score shows the problem with the latest software even when generating new parts and the problem is in those new parts and not in the score. Fortunately, it's happening just where I could force a new-line, so I do that as a work-around.

@cadiz1, Sorry, I cannot offer any more information than what I've already given above except that it looks like an unremovable courtesy time signature is added to all parts if the score changes time signature at the start of a new line regardless of whether or not that bar/measure is also located at the beginning of a new line in the parts--which often is not.
