Hi Michael, Thanks for the quick reply. I can't think of any score where one would need overlapping groups, if I look at it, it always is possible (and more clear) with nested groups. Can you give me an example of a score that needs overlapping groups to get correct results? I did search for this si...

While working on the 'group symbols' part of our software I got into trouble opening ActorPreludeSample.xml from the sample files. The groups are nested in a weird way. Although I can't find anything in the MusicXML spec disapproving this way of declaring the groups, I think it can be done better. T...

/*I don't know how long this indexing will take, but I still get only one topic, It's 3 entries, because this topic has 3 posts with the word 'lyrics' in it (now 4!). But still one topic, still not possible to search old posts.*/ [edit]Apparently I needed to clear my cache before the re-Indexed resu...

For me it's still not usable. Luckily I still have the mailing list on my computer, I can search there. At this moment I am working on reading lyrics from a musicXML file. Searching this forum with 'lyrics' or 'lyric' as a term to get all post concerning lyrics I get: 'No suitable matches were found...

As far as I know you shouldn't use the x-position to organize the notes, you should use the 'duration' of the 'note', 'forward' and 'backup' to determine the beat. Also take a look at the 'divisions' element. In short: The 'divisions' element at the beginning of a part tells you how many divisions a...

Thanks Michael!

How should the default-x of an adjacent note be (the default-x of the G4)? this: <note default-x="29"> <pitch> <step>G</step> <octave>4</octave> </pitch> <duration>16</duration> <voice>1</voice> <type>whole</type> <staff>1</staff> <notations> <arpeggiate default-x="-22" number=&q...

[url]http://www.musicxml.com/UserManuals/MusicXML/MusicXML.htm#EL-MusicXML-arpeggiate.htm#kanchor1097[/url] I think the visual representation of the example should have an arrowhead pointing down. Attr name: direction, type: up-down, required: No, The up-down attribute is used if there is an arrow o...

Due to internal doubts on the exact licensing of this project we are temporarily closing the github project. Internal development will continue and we'll set up a website where you can use and try it without installing. Non-commercial use will always be free. We would love to get any feedback on whi...

I found some similar tuplets in some Durand editions, it looks nice but never catched my eye. It seems like this is used only in cramped conditions. I have no clue on how to do this in MusicXML in a semantically correct way. A slur is a curved line spanning two or more notes, not one. Also, there is...
