Pickup Measure Error
I'll try to keep a long and complicated story as short as possible. I added a "high roto-toms" part to a score of music with other instruments. I previously had a 1/4 (1 beat) pickup measure into 4/4 time for all parts. When I added this roto-tom part, the pickup started lasting for 4 beats, although it was still notated as 1. So in english, it showed a quarter note, but when I hit play, it played the quarter note, took three measures rest, then continued with the piece. I tried going under measure properties, and read through the manual, but everything seemed legit. Can someone please tell me what to check, and possible remedies. I can answer any questions if that helps. Thanks!

So I enclosed a copy of the score, and a screenshot of the beginning of the piece. If you open up the music, and hit play you'll hear the note in the pickup measure, then 3/4 measure rest, even though the measure is irregular and should only be played for 1/4, then the rest of the piece will continue. If you have any ideas how to fix it, or if you could fix it for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

What version of MuseScore are you using? Are you able to give steps to reproduce the bug starting from a new score?
I fixed the score using version 0.9.6 by inserting a new measure and deleting the problem measure. If will need to be using version 0.9.6 or later to correctly open the file.

I do use the new 0.9.6 version, so thank you for fixing that and I'll remember that for future use. Thanks again!
