Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

If there is a courtesy time signature change at a repeat (under a 1st ending) and the 2nd ending ALSO has that same time sig, it is treated like a regular time sig change instead of a cautionary/courtesy.
