Mis-placed bows when importing .xml files

• Mar 6, 2019 - 09:59

When I import scores from .xml files exported from Sibelius, several bows from all instruments ends up in 1st instrument line. See attached files. (I was denied to upload .sib (Sibelius file), so see the screencopy.

I use a MacBook Air 2018, OS: macOS Mojave (10.14), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.0.4.21117, revision: cda4080

To help clarify the problem, these elements are called "ties" in English (not "bows"). And the problem is indeed that all the ties from the Alto, Tenor and Bass staves have been moved onto the Soprano stave. I'll leave it to a MusicXML expert to decide the cause of this odd behaviour.

Thanks Daniel, that is correct. I mixed up the names. I look forward to any help to get rid of this behavior. I have earlier done this without problems, but int the last weeks, this happens with all files I try tho import.

Unfortunately, it is a structural MuseScore issue, introduced on Feb 18 by me. Will try to create a fix as soon as possible. No workaround feasible in the current MuseScore version, but you could (at some inconvenience) do the MusicXML to MuseScore conversion in an older version, e.g. 2.3.2.

New issue created, see #285631: [MusicXML import] Misplaced ties when importing .xml files
