I think this can be done like this:

Code: Select all

<harmony>
  <root>
    <root-step text='H'>B</root-step>

I don't know how many applications will support this, but this is the way it can be done in MusicXML.

or do I write the file in oxygen and then open it in Sibelius ? Yes, write in oxygen, open in Sibelius when ready. Keep in mind that MusicXML isn't designed to be typed by hand. The best way to encode sheet music as MusicXML is to create a score with a score-editor (Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, ......

I wrote a plugin in the Sanitizer to add <type>eighth</type> to grace notes without type. Off course this chan...

http://www.musicxmlsanitizer.io Together with the MusicXML Community Meeting we launched our MusicXML Sanitizer/Validator. It scans trough a MusicXML file and searches for semantical errors and tries to fix them. When using the sanitizer you'll get a download with a 'corrected' MusicXML file and a ...

Also, look at Gould's Behind Bars page 333. There should be a system to distinguish several pedals at the same time, similar to the number attribute with slurs (and others). And take a look at page 335-336, but maybe this isn't within the scope of MusicXML (never saw it in other than experimental mu...
