I tried changing the local time signature of an empty measure and this message still shows up

• Sep 19, 2021 - 04:56

I even tried removing the d.c. sign
edit: I deleted what seems to be a 'messy' measure and added extra measures in between and it's now solved

The measures later in the score are not empty, but would be affected by such a change too.
Why do you want a local time signature there in the first place?
Why the hidden C in the measure before?

I'd like to see that score then, as an mscz and some image, like Pdf, to see what you really want to achieve there
I suspect you're misunderstanding the intention of that score.

But try to first "change" the next measure to the C time sig (globally), then apply the local time sig to that empty measure

I already restarted. I did not use time signature this time.(work in progress)
though measure 4, bass clef and measure 5, treble clef still seem kind of confusing because:
1.(measure 4, bass clef) the pdf says that there are 2 8th notes and 2 quarter notes that would fit but that would be 6/8
2.(measure 5, treble clef) this one seems fine although I'm not sure if the notes should be aligned with the notes in the bass clef like I saw in the pdf

You wrote:

It appears to be a publishing error. Look at the bass clef of measure 3 and you will see.
In fact, you must have copy/pasted measure 2 into measure 4 because you didn't notice the last chord in the treble clef is different. The last chord in measure 2 treble clef is an octave higher then the chord in measure 4.

Also:
2.(measure 5, treble clef) this one seems fine although I'm not sure if the notes should be aligned with the notes in the bass clef like I saw in the pdf

The notes should be aligned as in the pdf.
Look at this image and notice the alignment of the note stems.
The 16ths might look look like 8ths to you, but need to be 16ths to line up with the bass clef timing:

Here's the score of the bottom image with the proper note alignment (and the corrected chord in measure 4:

1.Why does the pdf show the notes as an 8th note when it is actually a 16th?

The pdf is a collection of scanned pages from a book with copyright year of 1884, Lee & Walker the publisher in Philadelphia. Some publishers were better than others when it came to engraving and proofreading.
You have already seen measure 4 of the bass clef showing 2 chords beamed as eighth notes instead of unbeamed quarter notes.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are further issues with interpretation.

2.Is the bpm supposed to be 70?
Music is meant to be played and listened to. I set the tempo to 70 to slow it down so that I could make sense of the rhythm, timing, meter.
Also, using the metronome at a slower tempo helps to discern with which beats the notes line up. Performance tempo could be faster. The opening instruction simply shows "Vigoroso".
