There is currently no code to handle tablature in MusicXML import or export. So this is more a feature request.
I know, is on my list of things to do (just like figured bass and many others), but thanks for reminding. Either just be patient and wait until I manage to get it done, or find another volunteer. Please note that my time is limited.
As of revision 5549, export works for the simple case of only a TAB staff (linked staff not implemented yet). Any feedback is appreciated, especially bug reports / results of compatibility tests.
As of revision 5564, import works for the simple case of only a TAB staff. Note that currently a guitar in standard tuning is assumed. Importing/exporting staff details still to be done.
One more remark: the attached file is not in tablature format (it uses the G clef for both staves, no string or fret information is present.
Added import of staff-tuning in revision 5566. Export was already done in revision 5549.
The original issue is not a MuseScore but a Finale export issue: the attached file does not contain any tablature information. Furthermore, MusicXML tablature import/export has been implemented in MuseScore quite some time ago, so I feel this issue should be closed.
Relates to #270643: [EPIC] MusicXML import/export issues
