Stuff everywhere on score (FIXED)
When I re-download my score from musescore.com, it is covered with invisible tempo changes and hairpins on almost every note, but they do not affect the playback. Why did this happen and how can I fix my score?
UPDATE: I fixed it by re-transcribing it onto a new blank score, the sound font I used was the problem, so I added it after making the new score instead. Thanks for your comments.

Did you choose the MuseScore (.mscz) file?

Yes, I did.
You're apparently talking about https://musescore.com/user/39723913/scores/7416683, right?
I don't see that:

You must have added those before uploading the score, but missed them because that score had set 'Don't show unprintable'

I didn't add that many tempo changes and hairpins, I'm sure of it. I only changed tempo once at the dreamy-like section, and only added the visible hairpins.

No, it didn't.
Perhaps at one point you had a plugin that did some of those, or more likely because invisible items were hidden you didn't notice having them.
But no version of MuseScore is capable of adding random hidden tempo markings all by itself.

But then WHY are they here?

I know you don't believe it but the only reason for them being there is that they were put there by a human action.

Unlikely, but you can always ask over at that site whether they have some insight into the history of this score file on their server.
What is slightly odd is that there are indications that your file started it's life as a different file/score. Namely as a score called

Indeed, those are the names listed as composers in File / Score Properties. Definitely seems to have been some cross-pollination of scores from different accounts. Whether that happened through user error or through some sort of weird screwup on musescore.com I can't say, but that's definitely a good lead to pursue with the support folks there.

Okay, but the old D minor version is slightly embarrassing as I made some silly errors when transcribing.
What? Where is this indication?

It's prolly a glitch. Yes, the name of the score is Memories.

Did you create your score from scratch?
Was MIDI involved at any point?

I transcribed it off the original paper sheets. And no, I only used MuseScore. The original file looked fine, but I don't have that anymore, as I downloaded it off MuseScore and changed a few errors. I only noticed recently that these have appeared.

Well, probably that original had the invisible markings too but you didn't see them because it had display of invisible items turned off in the View menu. And you can do the same if you like.

Invisible markings on the original paper sheets? Surely no-one would transcribe them.

I saw "I downloaded it off MuseScore" and assume this was downloaded from a version someone else created. And even if that wasn't the intent, it seems the most likely explanation.

I think that it was the OP's own upload that was downloaded after a local copy could not be found. There is no way that MuseScore added the tempo changes itself so I guess that they were added accidentally somehow without realising. Or maybe, as you say, another user's version was downloaded and the tempo changes were hidden.

How does that work...?
In reply to How could it be another user… by [DELETED] 39723913
It's possible that after you uploaded it, another user downloaded it, carefully added the playback customizations (they are way too specific to have been done accidentally), and uploaded a copy to his own account, and then somehow you got confused and downloaded that copy instead of yours.
Or it's possible a user hacked your account and did the same using your account rather than their own.
In any case, it's nothing any of the notation software users here on this site would have any real insight into. You might try contacting the actual support team from musescore.com using the link at the bottom of any page on that site and explain this. Maybe they can check a log of activity on that file.

I'm sure that you would know if you'd manually entered so many tempo changes so this may remain a mystery unless someone can replicate it.

Yes, I would know. The only tempo markings I put was the 76bpm at the beginning and the meno mosso in the dreamy-like section.

I already changed it quite recently to avoid someone who knew my passwords and could guess my username from getting I the account, seeing anything or trying to delete it.
