I have a small question:
Why can the forward element contain a voice and/or staff element (a backup element can't have these)?

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael, I think the MusicXML example of http://www.musicxml.com/UserManuals/MusicXML/MusicXML.htm#EL-MusicXML-time-relation.htm should be <time> <beats>3</beats> <beat-type>4</beat-type> <interchangeable> <beats>6</beats> <beat-type>8</beat-type> <time-relation>parentheses</time-relation> </inte...

For the moment it's not much, but take a look at musicxmlconverter.com

If you are on a MAC with Intel processor the documentation states: "Dolet 6 works with Finale 2007 to 2014 on Intel Macs". Please read: http://www.musicxml.com/dolet-plugin/dolet-6-plugin-for-finale/

The documentation ( http://www.musicxml.com/UserManuals/MusicXML/MusicXML.htm#CT-MusicXML-clef.htm ) clearly states: "Clefs appear at the start of each system unless the print-object attribute has been set to 'no' ". So I think your approach is correct and the MusicXML import of Sibelius i...

@michael: Just to let you know, I contacted the engraver/arranger of the music. In origin this file was an orchestral score, I stripped out everything except the measures containing the problem (copyright).

@mogens: I think it sounds correct, except from the thrill and accents. Also the Timpani is missing, but I guess that's because it isn't in the MusicXML nor the .musx file (just a direction). For the time being I am focussing on displaying the notes, not playing them. I'll get back to you if I find ...

I think you are correct, I didn't look into that yet. The 'unpitched' element is a question of displaying "not real notes", but the information is critical when displaying scores. The documentation: The display-step-octave group contains the sequence of elements used by both the rest and u...

Since we want to support as much as possible we are searching for a solution to the wrong step and octave from Mac exported MusicXML files in percussion parts. We do have some MusicXML files without the corresponding mus(x) files with the same problem. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to deal wit...

I was working with some percussion parts when I stumbled on a problem with a MusicXML file exported from Finale 2014 on Mac. Pitches (unpitched) are wrong... I restarted from Linux to my Windows to investigate the problem (I have the .musx file). I didn't find any reason for these pitches to be wron...
