Time signature is visible in the score, but missing in every part.
Earlier today I had an issue with key signature disappearing in all parts. Score had become key of C instead of F.
All parts OK, but re-written with accidentals.

To confirm, but rather than corruption (the playback is correct eg, and if you re-add the time signature, all works), I imagine than the user has deleted, when the parts were already created, a part of the score, of which, central point, the first measure.

And in this case, not only the key signature has changed (from F to C, this is not apparently not really and currently considered a bug, see here: https://musescore.org/en/node/75981, I nevertheless notes that there has been a change between last Mars and April last, I have not checked exactly the moment presently), but the removal of the first measure involves also the disappearance of the time signature in parts.
This is a bug. I filled soon. Former one.

One can reproduce this issue with the "original" file (the user said the score was in F)

So:
1) Load this file (I only added a new first measure): Fix, It's a long way to the top.mscz
2) Generate parts (new all -> ok)
3) In main score, delete (Ctrl + Del) the first measure
First result: the F key signature is deleted
4) View parts
Result: same, AND the time signature is deleted. Exactly as the result and display of the posted file.

I think your analysis is very likely correct. Deleting the first measure of a score with parts does cause exactly this effect. So I am assuming that is what happened in this case.

That bug is filed as #89401: Deletion of the first measure removes the time signature in parts, and I expect that it explains what happened here. I have a fix pending for that bug. So unelss the OP informs us that this is *not* likely to be what happened to his score, I would propose we close this bug as a duplicate of the other, since the other contains steps to reproduce.

But I'd still like confirmation that this is probably what in fact happened.

I can confirm that both key sig and time sig disappeared, and I did delete the 1st (empty) measure.
In fact I had 6 empty bars at the start as 'workspace' which I did delete.

Thankyou for your time to investigate this :-)
