This type of layout is designed to save paper at the expense of musical intelligibility. Yes, not only for paper! Also for android smartphones. Here is another example, that fits into a smartphone screen: * Gaudeamus igitur If you need to keep the repeats, another approach would be to use lyric num...

  I'm just implementing my android app with "multiVerse-Extention" like this: http://notizblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/multiverse.png Any idea? PS: The processing instruction verseCount="4" is needed, because otherwise I would need nested repeats or "ca capo" with t...

I never saw a ”sheet of music” with nested repeats. Is that usual? Do musicians understand that?

What do you think, how lyric in repeats and endings should be exported? There have to be two lines that belong to the same verse. It could be exported as <lyric number="1.1"> and <lyric number="1.2">. But I think, that´s not specified anywhere. I've a similar problem, mentioned i...

You can add an XSLT processing instruction to the MusicXML file or you can call a XSLT Transformer from command line (e.g. by a windows VBA script).
