Quoting the announcement of MusicXML 3.1 support in Finale: "uncompressed MusicXML files now have a .musicxml file extension". See www.musicxml.com/latest-news of June 29th.

Currently MuseScore does not open a MusicXML file with .musicxml extension, with the error "unknown type".


Comments

The justification for wanting this is that (as far as I understand it) Finale will always generate .musicxml files even if no 3.1 features are present. These files cannot easily be opened in MuseScore without this change.
