Hello Ella,

I have some experience with MusicXML and I’m interested too in trying to export your .ly file to MusicXML using Fresco.

Thanks if you can send me this file.

Tried to follow the thread and

<89v5MD16SNxJTYXF.png>

- exported an arbitrary ly file using Frescobaldi experimental feature as Jean described -> *.xml

- open *.xml file in MuseScore 3.0

(Translation: File xyz is no valid MusicXML file. Should I try to open anyway?)

Error message:

Fatal error: Line 11 Column 29 element 'creator' is not defined in this area/context (namespace?)

If I decide for "load anyway" I get a reasonable result in MuseScore (I have to admit that I never used MuseScore before ;-) ) with only a few header elements missing.

Thanks Jean. So basically the resulting exported XML literally won't open in MuseScore because it says it's not a valid XML file, so I went and opened it in Finale Notepad and then re-exported it and the notes were all wrong. [...]

Interesting. Would you mind sending the .ly file to me? I would like to understand what is invalid about the generated MusicXML.

Thanks,
Jean
