Am I understanding correctly that this is mainly for positioning lyrics for playback during repeated sections? Such as adding lyric events at the right place in a standard MIDI file? If that is the use case, then I think we could do this by adding a time-only attribute to the lyric element like we d...

We appear to have this fixed for the next version of the Dolet for Finale plug-in, coming soon. If you are still having this problem and need it fixed before version 6.8 is released, please submit a support request and we should be able to get you a beta version.

MusicXML can handle the exact timing of the notes, but a lot of software does not support this yet. Finale's import and export tend to handle only limited cases, like placing grace notes on the beat or before the beat. It would be interesting to know if Notion is exporting the timing information to ...

Hello Cees,

That is the one part of the Dolet plug-in functionality that is not directly available in the File menu for Finale v25.

The plug-in isn't showing up because it is a 32-bit plug-in, but Finale v25 is a 64-bit application. If you delete the MusicXML folder i...

Thanks to all for providing more information. I have been trying very hard today to reproduce this on various test machines but I am not able to do that. It seems that everybody reporting in this thread is using Windows 10 64-bit, but what editions of Windows 10 (Home, Pro, etc.)? Are these all with...

Could you please give a more specific example of what you are trying to do? What visual information are you trying to update independent of playback?

It is hard to answer without knowing which program is creating the MusicXML files, which ones are reading it, and seeing some examples of the files that are causing problems.
