Multi-measure rest at beginning does not allow text.

I am trying to add text instruction to the beginning of a part containing a multi-measure rest at the beginning. When the MM rest is disabled, the text appears. However, when I engage the MMR, the text disappears.

There is an A and a B section of rests before the part has notes. The B section does show the text properly.

This may be because I am trying to add 2 different text elements, one with the part name (which displays) and a separate element with instructions.

A sort of work around is to put the 2nd instruction on the 2nd bar. However this then has a single bar rest before the MMR.

Any ideas?

It is true only the first staff text displays. Part names are not normally created as staff text - they are created automatically by MuseScore when you generate parts from a score. So I'm not clear on the overall situation here - posting the score would help me understand. You can also add a part name outside the context of a full score using Add / Text / Part Name.
