Violins 1 measure early?
I decided to do the 5th symphony again because the computer I was doing it on died. Plus I was having all those problems with the brass so this time I figured I should do strings first, then woodwinds, then brass and percussion.
My second violins are a measure off. I don't know why since when I look at the parts it seems all correct(I do it with parts sheet music to avoid problems with instrumentation change) with notes and everything and yet my second violins go to the first grand pause(a 1 measure rest for the whole orchestra) before the second theme 1 measure early when they shouldn't.
Am I missing a measure of music? Is one or more of my rests in the wrong place? I know it isn't note duration that is the problem.
Second Violins section:

Close to the middle of the first page is where the first theme ends. So measures 1-56 are my concern right now with the strings. Here is the score that has the 1 measure early problem

Can you give precise steps to reproduce the problen you are perceivng? I open the score and don't see anything obviously wrong.
I follow the sheet music as usual. When it gets to the eighth notes followed by a whole rest(which I think is close to the mistake), I again do it as usual(alt+ number for intervals and chords, + for ties, . for dotted notes, etc.) However once I get to the last first theme measures(chord, rest, chord) the second violins are 1 measure early and that whole rest at the end of the first theme is supposed to be for whole orchestra, not just the first violins. So somewhere in that first theme I have a mistake that makes me hear all these dissonant intervals(dissonance between instruments is normal but this is more than normal dissonance) and at the very end that first ending chord(the one before the whole rest) is 1 measure earlier in the second violins than the first which makes the grand pause, not a grand pause(and if I were to do it all the way to the repeat, that grand pause would be affected as well).

By precise steps, I mean, please tell us what we need to do to see the problem, step by step, like this:
1) load score
2) go to measure 43
3) enter a "G" into the oboe part
4) X should happen, but Y happens instead
I can't tell if you're trying to describe something you might have entered incorrectly - basically asking someone to proofread your work - or if you are trying to report a bug in MuseScore (and if the latter, I can't tell if you are describing a notation issue or a playback issue, although it kind of sounds like the latter).

It must be a sheet music mistake because I entered it exactly as written and they are 1 measure early. The whole rest was put in the wrong place when this edition was published. I was able to cut the 1 measure off part and put that whole section 1 measure later and it fixed it.
