XML import changes flow

Dorico

Any way of importing XML not messing with an existing flow, as in the second example? I have all import settings un-ticked.

Thanks, robert

Impossible to tell what’s going on without seeing the document. Are these two separate instrument staves, or a grand staff? Has the import added players between them?

Thanks a lot, Yes these are two separate staves. I tried both “create all new players“ and “merge with existing players when possible“.

Basically, you need to sort your Player and instrument setup. You’ve got “Recorder 1” and “Recorder 2” in Flow 1, but changed to Organ and Jazz Guitar instruments; and Flow 2 has added 2 more.

I don’t quite understand why the staves have moved around – even after deleting the ‘new’ Players from Flow 2. But having 115% fulness on the first page probably isn’t helping.

Ah – the Text items seem to be affecting things. If I select them all and then uncheck the “Avoid Collisions” property, that seems to help.

What a great help, THANKS…. Indeed it was the changing of player order, and names that was causing trouble. I have quite a few more to import, so in order to have this happen again, I reverted the order and names of the players to their original ones. After I worked on all imports’, I can change them to how I want them.

Kind regards, robert
