XML file containing "Incomplete Bar" errors

• Jun 17, 2023 - 07:59

This is the first time I'm experiencing problems exporting XML files from Reaper and opening them in Musescore. The only time signature I have set is 3/4, there are not time or time signature changes at all throughout the piece.
Here's a small preview of the errors that MS is showing:

Thank you so much. The article is very helpful, especially using the shortcut for "Full measure rest" (Ctrl+Shift+Del) most of the errors have gone away!

However, why does XML files are so bad? I mean, in Reaper I absolutely didn't write anything that could make Musescore thinks to use a time signature of 5250/4608 instead of a 3/4 time signature.

As the attached picture shows, there are some weirdnesses going on. Looking at the bar proprieties under bar duration everything is set to 3/4 both the nominal and the actual value.

I guess I'll need to manually write all the affected bars?

Thank you
