4/4 only has 7 eighth rests
As I was working on my score, at a certain point 4/4 effectively became 7/8. I cannot fix this. I tried to readjust the time signature to no avail. I have tried to work around this issue by conforming to this apparent glitch, but it's just too confusing. Beyond a certain point, it resumed 4/4 with all the proper eighth rests. Please advise further.

Where is the problem, what measure number?
Measure 32? See that little dash at its top right? It indicates the measure to have lest beats than the time sig asks for.
Right-click into it and adjust the actual duration to match the nominal duration

Thank you for the reply. I have no idea how I did that. My cursor starts to act weird when my hands get sweaty—it jumps all around the screen and lands in a surprise spot many times. I was completely unaware that I triggered this feature.
You may have deleted an eighth note or a rest by pressing Ctrl-Del. This not only deletes the note but also shortens the measure. Use 'Del' only.

Thank you for your reply. I was only using Del or CTRL-x, but sometimes my cursor lands in a surprise spot and toggles something weird which leaves me guessing WTH went wrong.
