Description
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create empty score
- Apply section break somewhere in the middle
- Press M to enable MMRests
→ you have two MMRests now, with the section break in between - Select the "measure" of the first one
- In the Palettes, click on the System break element
→ the MMRests are merged into one, and you don't see the section break anymore - Undo → doesn't work and/or causes crash
Expected behaviour
The MMRests should stay separated by the section break
Additional context
Same happens in MS3.6.2, except for the crash on undo
