Bracket problem
Could someone please explain why the bracket in this sample score insists on being overlaid on the clef rather than placed to the left of the staff? I'm working on a number of other very similar scores where the bracket works fine.

There seems to be some weird thing going on where there are a whole bunch of tempo markings before the time signature, and this messes up the layout. Any idea where those came from? Maybe MIDI import? Anyhow, deleting them doesn't help unfortunately, but understanding something about how that happened might provide some insight.

I'm not sure how that came about. I may at some time in the past have changed the tempo from what it orginally was. I've done that with other scores, but I'm not sure if I ever then tried to put a bracket on those scores.
Is there any work around. All I can think of is to create the first few bars of a new score and then copy the rest in from the old score, but that might not work, and even if it did, you lose a lot when you copy.

Export as XML and re-import? Worked in 2.0b1

Thanks, that gets the brackets inserted ok, but the re-imported file in Musescore still needs some revision: there are little green page icons in it (what are those things?) which I can delete, some of the tempo and staff text formatting is lost, and not all the tempo changes are there. And I'm concerned that there may be more differences that I haven't caught yet.

The important thing is that XML export/import removed whatever corruption was present in the original file. It's a handy trick when the score is corrupted. Yes, you will have to do score reformatting.
The green icons are line or page breaks. You can set a preference for not exporting or importing page layout items (line/page breaks). Unless they are in wrong places I would leave them.
I didn't see _any_ tempo settings at all, but that was just the small sample you uploaded.

Yes, with MusicXML, there are differences you will need to correct manually, but at least it shoud correct the more serious problems.
Regartding the tempo markings, I saw them opening the score in a text editor.
