Currently MuseScore relies on the tied element but ignores the tie. If tie is present but tied is missing no ties are imported. Strict interpretation of a note with tie but without tied would, according to the MusicXML spec, lead to a note that sounds tied but does not display a tie. This could be implemented in MuseScore as an invisible tie.

Workaround No Yes

Workaround: Import into Finale Notepad (I believe it is free ro download and use) and export from there, then MuseScore will import it too.
Seems Finale (Notepad)'s MusicXML import is more forgiving for this encoding error of Cakewalk than MuseScore's

Fix version 4.0.0

In 3.x it causes a test to fail though ("testUnterminatedTies"), don't quite understand why. That test doesn't exist in master.
