Missing Melisma in Lyrics when importing XML
When I import an XML file into musescore (from Sibelius via the Dolet plugin), the lyrics do not have melismas any more, the underline after the syllable that is sung over multiple notes is missing. How ever, Finale 2010 shows the melismas when importing via XML, so the Sibelius Dolet plugin does code the melismas into the XML file.
I tried musescore 0.9.5 and the nightly build 0.9.6 R2821, both lack melismas in the import.

The tag in MusicXML to notate Melisma is "extend" and it's indeed not supported in MusicXML import for the moment.
The main problem is that MuseScore keeps the start and the end of the melisma and MusicXML just have the start of it. So end has to be guess.

I think there have since been updates?

How should we proceed?

This is still a problem when exporting XML files from MuseScore 2.02.
The underscores I've entered for lyrics at melismas and tied notes are gone when I import the XML back into MuseScore.
Is there a solution to this problem?

As usual, it helps to post the specific score (or in this case, MusicXML file) you are having problems with and precise step by step instructions to reproduce the problem. In general, melisma should work, but there is at least one unusual special case where it does not - see #87591: MusicXml - full melisma <extend> implementation for exports

Marc,
Here are 3 simple files that illustrate the problem.

Ah, you are seeing a bug already fixed since the release of 2.0.2. The fix is available in the nightly builds and should b in the next release. See #46861: [MusicXML] Add support for melisma in import and export.

I downloaded 2.0.3 from the nightly builds and was able to use it to export and import XML without losing the melisma underscores.
Here are the steps I took:
1) I used 2.0.2 to save an mscz test file.
2) I opened the mscz file in 2.0.3.
3) I used 2.0.3 to export as XML.
4) I used 2.0.3 to import the XML file.
5) I used 2.0.3 to save the XML as mscz
6) I used 2.0.2 to open the mscz,
7) The melisma underscores were all there, as in the original mscz file.

Thanks, Marc.
From following the link you provide, it appears there is a 2.0.3 that fixes this.
I am not familiar with your nightly build process.
When may I obtain the newer version?
(By the way, why are all the links in these posts showing up today as line-out and pink highlight, in both Windows and Mac Firefox browsers?)

2.0.3 is not released yet, but you can help test the nightly builds for it by clicking the Download menu in the menu at right and scrolling down to the nightly builds section.

Thanks, Marc.
The 12-hour link listed, http://prereleases.musescore.org/macosx/nightly/MuseScoreNightly-2016-0…, gives an error "Image Not Recognized" when I try to open it with Disk Installer on my Mac. The 13-hour link is downloading now.
