Bad playback display
Psalm 119 II Aleph and Beth.mscz
In this score I have a very disturbing display during playback. To recreate the issue,
Load the score
Select the title frame and insert a text frame and put some text in it.
Add a page break to the text from you inserted so the title frame starts page 2.
Select the first measure and play
Notice that when page 3 is finished playing the display continues to show page 3 from the top, while the playback cursor seems to be following page 4, and playback is also sounds page 4.
The playback cursor does not include the entire system on either page, I don't know how it picked its height.
Save and reload seems to fix the issue in my initial testing, though I've concentrated on the first 4 pages so far.
I'm hoping others see this issue and I'll put in a bug report.
A little more info that might help with debugging. This score was started about 3 years ago in version 2.0.3 (maybe 2.1). I imported it into version 3.0.5 and am now using 3.1 to see the problem.
I have not yet tried this on a score from scratch. I'll look at that now.

I do see similar glitches with the playback cursor on this score following those steps.

I did a test by creating a new score and using an existing score to fill in the notes. It seems, not surprisingly, that you need to have hide empty staves invoked and multiple systems on the pages. To clarify what I have previously said, you need only to save it and the problem clears up.
It seems that the display is quite confused, because page 3 of the score (the text frame is on page 1) is missing.
Issue #290154: Display on playback gets confused when text frame added to start created.
In a different score, I believe I saw a related bug. The system divider symbol was displayed on an existing staff. I can't tell you what caused this, but once again there were mutiple systems on the affected page and hidden staves included. There was no text frame at the beginning, but there are page breaks, unlike in the body of the attached score. I wonder if the bottom line is a page break followed by a couple of pages with hidden staves.
