Full marks so far on 1.3 score compatibility
I've just built commit e03ddb3 of MuseScore 2 unstable.
I was delighted to discover that loading one of my 1.3 scores didn't result in the mess of misplaced alignments I have been experiencing previously.
Well done guys!

Definite steady improvement. I just tried loading Reunion into the current build and it's quite readable. Just a few glitches, albeit fairly significant ones. Pedal markings way too low, custom dynamic markings unreadable, a tempo marking attached to the wrong note/beat. Slurs that had been manually adjusted in 1.3 are hit and miss, but that's to be expected, I suspect. Difference of option between 1.3 and 2.0 on default position of articulations in a multi-voice context, but I think the 2.0 version makes a better default. I suppose 1.3 scores could possibly take the old default if one wanted to spend a bit more time improving compatibility. Text items where I had manually changed the text properties (eg, tempo text from bold to italic) aren't preserved.
Is it worth submitting each of these individually as bug reports? Since this piece was specifically designed to show off as many MuseScore features as possible, it makes a pretty good test case for 1.3 compatibility.
