Where did 4 bars disappear?
Hello there!
I have a PDF music sheet of Pull me under by Dream Theater. I converted the PDF to musicxml by using the free version of pdftomusic, but I could only export one page at time (because I have the trial version). Any way, the PDF is 6 pages, I exported 6 files and then wanted to put them together. So, I created a new tab and copied and pasted everything in the pdf-files. But I something was different, the original pdf have 200 bars while the version I created by putting together 6 pages have only 196 bars. I tried to know what was different, but I could not know.
Can you please tell my where did the 4 bars go? Maybe you can spot the difference.
Thanks in advanced.
I know many people want to convert PDF to xml, this is the link for pdftomusic pro:

It helps bringing all the system- and page breaks into sync, when comparing score and pdf
Also barlines and fixing key sig changes

I used Bass Guitar, you used 'Elbas' whatever that is, and apparently an octave too high (Bass Guitar is octave transposing)

Weird, because ''Elbas'' is electric bass (in Swedish). Both are the same instrument, the difference is one of them is acoustic and the other is electric.

Still your's is not octave transposing and as such an octave too high (Electric Bass too is octave transposing by default, not sure how you cha nged instrument to that? Apparently not via right-click in the the staff, staff properties, as then it would be octave transposing)
Also you're is from 3.5.2, mine from 3.6.2, you may want to update
