As seen in the screenshot I have found a grey + sign in my partiture.

It means that the measure has more notes than the time signature allows
If you don't want to see them, you can hide them by clicking menu View -> Show -> Mark irregular measures.

But they won't print anyway
If you need to correct this--that is, if the measure was (for example) scanned incorrectly so has three eighth notes instead of an eighth-note triplet--you can correct the notes and move (Ctrl+X Cut / Ctrl+V Paste) them to the ((beginning** of the measure. Then right-click on the measure (not on any note/rest, but on blank space within the measure) and click the Measure properties... option from the context menu. On the Measure properties dialog, change the Actual duration to match the Nominal duration.
FYI: this is also the way to MAKE a measure have more (or less) notes than the time signature indicates if you want to do this.

Yes, you have not got the measures correct ... in the Parts. You'll probably need to re-generate the Parts, at least the ones this error mentions.

We're reaching the end of my knowledge at this point :-)
Check out the Handbook at https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/parts. In particular, read the sections on "Create a new part", "Managing synchronisation of score and parts", and "Renaming, duplicating and deleting parts".
By "regenerate", I meant to delete the Part (yes, losing any customization you have made) and creating a new Part for the instrument in question.

I solved the problem by reverting my changes to my last save (which fortunately lets me copy changes in from the corrupted version).
I'll just leave the extra beat for the time being.
Appreciate your help and suggestions.
You can select the eighth rest in front of measure 225 and hit Ctrl+Del.
