Research direction

Reproduce the issue in MuseScore Studio 4.4.0 using the reported Flute score, 4/4 time signature, 1/4 pickup measure, and following measures with Actual durations of 1/4 and 1/8. Compare the displayed rests with version 4.3.2; done means the quarter and eighth rests remain correct after changing Actual duration.
