mxl files
I have 6371 files with extension mxl. These are lead sheets for tunes. These open easily in Musescore 2 on my Windows 10 PC albeit with an error message that doesn't seem to cause me any problems. How can I open these files in Musescore on my iPad, please?
I am new to iPad so I am struggling.

The MuseScore Editor, the program that opens mxl files on your Windows 10 PC, doesn't exist for iPad.
There's a player/viewer App for iOS (and Android), but that works on mscz files only
BTW: you should consider upgrading to MuseScore 3(.6.2)
What can do to view those files on your iPad is open them in MsueScore (again, preferably with a current version, which will produce much better results), then save them in MsueScore format (MSCZ). They can then be opened in the iPad app. Or - again, using MsueScore on your computer - export them to PDF, and view them on the iPad that way. There are some really nice PDF viewers specifically optimized for sheet music collections.
And with MuseScore you can use the Batch Convert plugin to convert all these mxl files into mscx and/or PDF in one go

I think I have got the batch convert plugin working but it is a fairly slow process and it keeps stopping to tell me an error message. However if I load the problem file manually it opens OK. Many thanks for your suggestions so far.
