Description

Usually, a fermata written on a barline often means to not play for a moment, but when writing fermatas on a barline they don't play nor make any change.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open a score
- Write a fermata on a barline
- Notice error
Expected behavior
There should be a pause with the fermata between the last bar and the next one
Platform information
- OS: macOS Monterrey 12.6.1
