Sorry this response is so late. I'm new to hexbear and just now saw where the notifications are. I looked at the linked piece because I had quite forgotten what I was asking and immediately saw the dotted capital I's all over the page. I don't know how else to describe it, but I did find a different link that had all the notes properly displayed across the bar, so I assumed the I's were placeholders because they want you to pay for access. Idk if this imgur link will be helpful or not. https://imgur.com/a/BmGfz4r
Your computer is displaying the symbols wrong. The W in your screenshot is a whole note. The dotted capital Is are eighth notes. No suggestions except different browser or app.
Yeah, that's not a valid notation I've come across in my music journey. I'd agree with you that it could be a placeholder symbol in that context, but I don't know why they wouldn't just restrict the pages instead. It could also be a unicode or file type issue like slatun mentions too, but overwhelmingly, unless you're working in a specific music softwares ecosystem and expect to be able to edit it, sheet music is just given as a pdf or image file and it shouldn't matter.
