How on earth did I get 75/96 of a measure?

NOT a problem, just a thoroughly confuseling situation.

I am updating some old scores made with another program today. These often have corrupt measures that have to be fixed so I'm carefully correcting them and re-saving in MuS format. Luckily, this file has only one bad measure:

> Incomplete measure: Full score, measure 17, staff 1. Found: 75/96. Expected: 3/4.

The problem lies in Voice 1 in the treble clef.

It took me nearly an hour to figure this one out. 32nd note triplet would be 48 to the bar. However, because it had the 32nd triplet and ordinary 32nd notes, it has to be doubled (96) to have the full measure. It is long by one 32nd note, which is the length of the second dot of the double-dotted 8th note.

And, can someone point me in the right direction to see how to include an inline image? Thought I had the right instructions, but it didn't work :-(

For an inline image like this:

See:
https://musescore.org/en/node/289899
N.B.: "After attaching the file, in the case of an image, you can insert it in the message.
Move your cursor in your reply (or post) where you want the picture then click the insert link (the underlined blue word insert)"

Should the top staff be more like this, as far as placement of beats goes?

Hi bobjp:

I had guessed that removing the double dot was the right correction, but found on checking the source that was wrong. Instead, the 'trill' notes were too long: should have been 64th rather than 32nd.

That makes more sense.
