Bug: XML import error from tremolos in cubase into Dorico

I don’t know if the error is on the Cubase side or the Dorico side.

If I export XML on a note with a tremolo FROM Cubase into Dorico, I get this error from Dorico:

ERROR - Element ‘tremolo’: ‘’ is not a valid value of the atomic type ‘tremolo-marks’.

In the Cubase XML, it defines the tremolo in this way:

<ornaments>
        <tremolo placement="above" />
</ornaments>

I tried a tremolo XML export from Dorico and it defines it this way:

<ornaments>
            <tremolo type="single">3</tremolo>
</ornaments>

When I manually change the tremolo code in Cubase to match Dorico then the import to Dorico works. I’m guessing the issue is on the Cubase side, but I’ll cross post this in both forums in case one is better suited to handle the issue. EDIT: looks like I can’t crosspost since the text is so similar. Can the Dorico team share this with the Cubase team if it’s more relevant for them?

Thanks for reporting this. This is indeed an error in the MusicXML export implemented in Cubase. We’ll make sure this gets taken care of in due course.
