Mu4 musicxml issue

Maybe already fixed, but opening Mu4 mxl file with Mu3.7 renders a messed up score file.(Lyrics mixed up with staves etc.)

By the way, looks like Hide empty staves is on by default. Before further analysis, make sure to turn that off after importing (unless desired otherwise):

Well, I guess it comes from this in importmxmlpass2.cpp:

      StringData* t = new StringData;
      QString visible = _e.attributes().value("print-object").toString();
      QString spacing = _e.attributes().value("print-spacing").toString();
      if (visible == "no" ) {
            // EITHER:
            //  1) this indicates an empty staff that is hidden
            //  2) this indicates a cutaway measure. if it is a cutaway measure then print-spacing will be yes
            if (spacing == "yes") {
                  measure->setStaffVisible(staffIdx, false);
                  }
            else if (measure && !measure->hasVoices(staffIdx) && measure->isOnlyRests(staffIdx * VOICES)) {
                  // measures with print-object="no" are generally exported by exporters such as dolet when empty staves are hidden.
                  // for this reason, if we see print-object="no" (and no print-spacing), we can assume that this indicates we should set
                  // the hide empty staves style.
                  _score->style().set(Sid::hideEmptyStaves, true);
                  _score->style().set(Sid::dontHideStavesInFirstSystem, false);
                  }
...

I just don't see how/why that mxl takes that code path, it doesn't have "print-object" set at all
