Re: Export to XML

[Andrew Bernard]

I thought the musicxml export is only experimental/preliminary. How 
developed is it exactly?

The OP seems to have tuned and tweaked his engraving extensively for the 
best appearance (OP to confirm...). Is this tool capable of capturing 
all such fine tweaks? Or is this beyond MusicXML anyway?

In your workflow, why the double export? if the result is fine from 
Lilypond why then export from MuseScore?

Musescore simply refuses to install or uninstall earlier version on my 
Windows 11 Insider Preview, FWIW. Just mentioning (not very happy about 
that!)
