Issue Description
1. Add lyric events to a MIDI file.
2. Open the MIDI file in MuseScore.
Lyric texts without a note on event at the same ticks are not displayed.
As illustrated in the attachment, some lyric texts are displayed under both staff, while some are displayed under just one staff (staff having a note on event at the same time). If neither staff has a note on event at the same ticks, the lyric text is not displayed.

MuseScore just since relativly recently allows for lyrics being attached to rests, certainly MIDI import hasn't been adapted to that yet
And it is no means clear that it should. These don't appear to be lyrics at all, they probably shouldn't have been added as such.
Oops, I didn't even look at that image. Indeed doesn't look like lyrics, more like staff text or fingering or some such.
Anyway, it is lyrics events in MIDI, it should import as lyrics, GIGO principle (Garbage In, Garbage Out)
