I am trying to understand the specification for curves (ties and slurs). A slur continue defines a point with default/relative/x/y as well as two bezier points with bezier/x/y/offset/2. So does the curve continue define a single point through which the curve passes as well as two bezier handles? Als...

OK, thanks.

p.s. I'm concerned about the fact that the 'number' attribute is optional and described with "The number attribute is used to distinguish overlapping and nested part-groups, not the sequence of groups." I guess 'group-id' would have been a better name for this attribute (in retrospect) and...

I understand the concept of nested part groups like this <part-group number="1" type="start"/> ...parts... <part-group number="2" type="start"/> ...parts... <part-group number="2" type="stop"/> ...parts... <part-group number="1" t...

After installing Finale 25 on El Capital and then installing Dolet 6 with Dolet67FinaleMac.zip, I see the MusicXML submenu in my plugins menu, but when I go to that menu line, no submenu items appear. BTW, the alias folder for Finale 25 was not there so I found the path and dragged the plugin manual...

Thanks, I'm finding some mistakes in my model that must have occurred when traversing attribute group references.

As I work through my input test cases, I am finding things in the Lilypond MusicXML test suite that appear to be invalid per the XSD. Here are some examples: * 01e_Pitches_ParenthesizedAccidentals.xml incorrectly uses "double-flat" which should be "flat-flat" instead * 22b_Staff_...

I just hit this gotchya in the Lilypond "unofficial music xml test suit" ‘01e-Pitches-ParenthesizedAccidentals.xml’ has values of "double-flat" (at least the copy I have does). The link on the page seems to be broken: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/input/regression/musicxml/collat...

I have built my model of MusicXML from the XSD (3.0) specification, but I see here http://www.musicxml.com/for-developers/musicxml-xsd/ that XSD is stricter than DTD. I have also noticed that many MusicXML documents specify DTD validation in their DOCTYPE statements. This is a concern as I am now wo...

I see now that the number of staves is specified within each measure:

Code: Select all

<staves>2</staves>
