Feel free to send me the file. It would be helpful to know which version of Dorico you used to import it. Also if you still have the XML file that would be useful too.

Thanks @dwlarson - it does indeed seem that there’s a problem here with MusicXML import specifically. We’ll take a look.

Just for the record, the case I reported at the beginning of this thread did not involve MusicXML. But if we can find why the MusicXML case has problems, it might also fix the other cases.

If it makes any difference, the MusicXML file was created by Dolet v8.3 for Sibelius.

Does anybody know if this has been resolved in the 5.1.70 patch?
