Expected behavior: In continuous view mode, time signature only appear once per measure.

Actual behavior / Steps to recreate: For a score with time signature changes, most time signatures after the first are drawn twice (see images) when I enter continuous view mode. If the score opens in continuous view it draws as expected, but after saving the duplicate time signatures reappear.

I believe it relates to the time signature's location when in page view. Time signatures that change at the start of a new line are also shown at the end of the previous line (as a courtesy to the musician). Only time signatures found at the end of lines in page view are duplicated in continuous view. For example, any time signature placed after a line break is duplicated.

Example:
With no line breaks, the second measure draws properly. The third starts a new line in page view and draws the time signature twice in continuous view.

With line breaks added in, both the second and third measure show a twice-drawn time signature in continuous view, likely because of the courtesy time signatures drawn in page view.
