Multi-measure rests not working
I am very confused because the multi-measure rests work in some measures but not in others, even though the measures are empty throughout the section. I checked the measure properties and ensured the 'break mult measure rest' box was unticked, Can someone please help me figure out what's wrong?

Instead a pic., little use here, could you attach the .mscz file itself (related to your first image)

Here is the whole score, just tick off the instrument visibility until there is only one visible and you'll see the bug.

Where - and in what instrument Part - are you seeing the "bug"? If you mean Trumpet 2, I don't see a problem. If your Trumpet 2 part looks different, try resetting it.

how do i reset it? for me all of the parts have seemingly random areas where the multimeasure rests aren't working...

That screenshot was trumpet 2, what did you do to fix it? (or did it just look like that when you opened the score?)

There are two points here:
Then you're right, there's something unexpected.
With V3 (eg Trumpet 2), you get :
With V4:
We'd have to understand what's triggering this inconsistency before reporting it on GitHub
This is done in two clicks (instead wasting your time to hide instruments), and it's the basic and powerful feature for can extract instruments parts.
And then the result is as expected. See image below:
(and your score with parts: Watermelon Man1.mscz)

Thank you, this worked immediately.

Apart from the original question, which has already been well answered by cadiz1, I wonder why your score has the same key signature for all instruments, transposing and non-transposing?
I'm not very experienced in music theory though, but in my opinion trumpet, piano, saxophone should be notated in different keys - unless you switch to concert pitch mode.
Maybe I have a gap in my knowledge and you can briefly explain why it should be like this?

If the OP is hiding and showing instruments on the main score rather than using Parts, then the same key signature will have been applied to all staves and will show as same or different depending upon whether Concert pitch is ticked. The lack on instrument names in the original post;s images suggests that we are not looking at Parts but at a score with staves hidden.

I just opened the "Watermelon Man.mscz" in MuS 3.7 and saw that all instruments show Fmaj even though the concert pitch button was not pressed. Only the guitar was hidden.
And at least in MuS 3, the key does not change if I hide all but one instrument in the main score - in the notated key. Is it different in MuS 4? And what key do you see when you show different transposing and non-transposing instruments together? For example, alto saxophone, trumpet, piano?
And when I press the concert pitch button, all instruments should display the same key, but that's not the case here. That was the reason for my comment. And I don't think that's right. But if it is, I would like to know why.

The key signature is auto-adjusted for the transposing instruments in MuS 4. I only had to put F major key sig so that's probably a MuS 3 bug. I have attached a PNG showing the key signatures with the concert pitch box ticked off in MuseScore 4.

Thank you for the clarification.
I've never seen this problem before, so I'll watch out carefully for anything similar in the future.

Indeed a bug in MuseScore 3.7 Evolution (well in 3.6.2 too, but that doesn't claim to be able to read Mu4 scores)
