Yet, I found this 'repeated rest' at the start of a song which has particularly intrigued me since I'm using the xml file to build an object for a different software, resulting into a repeated rest which is obviously not desired.
I've been studying diverse musicXML files with MuseScore and I've found that usually rest notes are easily represented and visible in its musicXML file.
Yet, I found this 'repeated rest' at the start of a song which has particulary intriged me since I'm using the xml file to build an object for a differente software, resulting into a repeated rest which is obviously not desired.
It has a backup value which I couldn't find much information about. I'm obviously not a musician.

The partiture:
What also calls my attention is that the rest note does not have any type value which according to the museScore partiture it should be a half.
Next rest, which is also a rest, has its proper value of a quarter and it's not repeated.
It's important to understand this, otherwise I will not be able to generate the proper algorithm for the time stamps of each note.
