Quater-note-based time signatures display abnormally
I make a new score.
I initially set the time signature to C. Everything works fine.
After some note-typing, I realize 8/4 would probably work better.
In the time signature tab in the Palette, I click more.
I click "Create Time Signature".
I change the "4/4" in Value to "8/4".
I switch around the beams accordingly.
I press "add".
I look in the palette again.
I don't see "8/4". Instead, I see "8". Just "8" in the centre of the stave.
Is it just a palette error? I drag it onto the score...

...no, something's gone wrong here.
I try other "/4" signatures. The same thing happens, whether it's "1/4", "8/4" or "11/4". They display as "1", "8" and "11". However, this doesn't apply to the default palette time signatures. 2/4/ 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and 6/4 seem to be fine, as well as a 3/4 with different beam groupings I made a while ago. In fact, even if I make a 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 or 6/4 now it's fine. but anything else/4 goes haywire.
Err... mods, could you fix this please?
Thanks very much!

MuseScore allows you to create a time signature that only consists of a numerator (such as your 8). This is done by leaving the denominator empty when you type in the Text and put nothing in the second box as seen in this example
If you leave both text fields blank, the displayed time signature will match the Value.

I have left both fields blank in all of my custom time signatures.
See #281071: Can't have single number when adding custom time signature and #308139: Time signatures created pre-3.5 need special handling to avoid unintended loss of denominator and #309754: Create Time Signature dialogue doesn't need to add special text whenever the internal value of nominator or denominator is changed

Thank you. Issue fixed by typing "8" and "4" into the Text spaces. However it should do the same thing without anything in the "Text" spaces, should it not?

As you can see in the issues. This is fixed in version 3.5.1 which was released about 24 hours ago. You can download the update.
