The issue can be found in my Scarlatti K 27 score which is stored here:

https://musescore.com/user/30275987/scores/7396709/s/ny1PZP?share=copy_…

bar 60 is just wrong. According to IMSLP (https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/376370/qraj)

it should start with a b1, which is what I entered, and which is played, but not displayed...

TIA, Norbert

That score can't get downloaded. If it is from IMSLP, it should be public domain, if marked as such, it should be downloadable.

It is not downloadable, "Access denied".

Measure 60 in bottom staff starts with a rest, next note is a B3, not a B1 (and a B4 and D5 in top staff).
Shows and plays as such

Hi Jojo,

Please accept my apologies: The respective phrase in bar 60 in LH starts with a B3 and ends with a B4 in bar 61.

I include the IMSLP screenshot. my MuseScore file sounds (!) correctly, but does not show the right notes, since it starts with a G3. The notes show correctly in bass clef if I delete the treble clef I inserted in bar 57.

TIA, Norbert

Ah, I see, MuseScore calls it a B3 in the statrus bar, and it does sound as one, but a B3 on a G-clef should really be below the first ledger line below staff, not below the _second__

I see the G-clef in measure 57, it has set the 'show courtesy clef', but doesn't do it.
If you delete and re-apply it, wverything seems to look good again.

Question is how this problem came about.

Ah!!! That G-clef isn't really a G-clef but a French Violin Clef!!

Still doesn't explain the lack of a courtesy clef at the end of the prious system though, but your screenshot does explain that. It differs from the score you attached, here's what that score looks like here:

ARGHHHH, You are right. I did not use the proper treble clef. Thanks a lot. Please close the issue. I will upload the file immediately to my scores...

Thanks for your patience.
