Description
Issue type
Import/export issue
Description with steps to reproduce
- Open the attached xml, which contains a pickup bar (1 beat) and i pickup bar again in measure 9 (1 beat). It also contains danish lyrics with letter ø and å.
- Compare the attached images. The picture from Sibelius is the same xml, imported into Sibelius. This is how the score should look.
I have marked the relevant places with red circles.

Regression
I was unable to check
Operating system

Additional context
Origin of xml is lesser known notation software Primus (www.columbussoft.de). Even though xml might not be a fixed standard, it would be nice, if Musescore could handle the pickup bars correct.

Research direction
Start by importing the attached “Pickup bars and danish lyrics.xml.zip” in MuseScore 4.4.1 and compare the pickup bars and Danish lyrics with the supplied Sibelius image. Trace the XML import entry point for measure pickup handling and lyric characters; done means both pickup bars and the ø/å lyrics render as shown in the reference.
