Strange notation from xml

I’m importing an easy march from Finale via xml, and everyplace there’s a trill I get what you see in the screenshot. I’ve tried deleting the notes and reentering, even deleting the measures and adding bars, all to no avail. No matter what I try, I always get this weird result, with 512th notes and rests!

That’s might be Finale’s Human Playback, which worked by putting notes into a hidden layer in the score. (Garrritan libraries have trill samples that wobble for each note-on, note-off pair.)

Try turning it off before exporting the XML.

Is this an old document? A quick test with F27 doesn’t immediately show this problem; but I definitely remember it happening.

I think the original was from 2019; I’m converting this for a friend so they can “see Dorico.”

And thanks! That worked…
