Hello,

I have Finale Notepad 2012r1 (which you can download for free here: https://www.finalemusic.com/products/notepad/

It is missing a lot of things but it has MusicXML import and export.
I imported your file and then exported it. See attachment.

Hi,

I'm trying to add support to python-ly for exporting manual beams to MusicXML.

I managed to export the commands to start and end a beam, but that's not sufficient. In theory (https://usermanuals.musicxml.com/MusicXML/Content/EL-MusicXML-beam.htm) the beaming pattern is described in detail in MusicXML, and when I export something from MuseScore this is also what I get.

I don't see it as reasonable to properly implement this in the python-ly exporter (at least for now) because that would essentially mean re-implementing the whole beaming-pattern code from LilyPond (which even isn't fully correct either).

However, I realized that when I have the beam start and end encoded by python-ly and then (so far manually) add

        <beam number="1">continue</beam>

to each note, regardless of the actual beaming pattern situation, MuseScore will correctly import the XML file (and add the correct encoding when re-exporting to XML).

While I know this is not a correct export I think it would be a good start and in any case better than nothing. But I would like to know what the other programs will do with the code.

So I'd be happy if people could import the attached .xml file to Finale, Sibelius and (if possible) Dorico, and tell me about the results. Also attached is the reference image of what it should look like.
(Note that the .xml is manually tweaked at this point).

TIA
Urs
