xml Input (from Sibelus xml export) imported in one of three scores (all of them identical instruments, made from the same template) the cello completely as “voice 2” - (visible after swithing on the voice color)
In the sibelius file the cello is clarly voice 1…
was driving my crazy because when I copied cello to contrabass, dorico inserted funny additional rest,
and it was right, because I was copying voice 2 notes …
in the rest of the scores, this did not happen…
In another file, the cello (named cello etc) was imported in two staves, like it was a piano, one of its staves empty.
Thanks for the report. If you want to attach the specific MusicXML files here (please zip them up) we can take a look to see if we can determine what has caused these behaviours; the problems will be specific to the individual MusicXML files in question, so we can’t investigate without them.
Exported from sibelus 8.5 (uncompressed xml),
Imported to dorico 1.0.10:
Click on first note violin 1 in bar 5,
use “->” to move the selection.
The selection of slurs is somehow arbitrary,
sometimes the selection goes to a slur, sometimes not.
In bar 8 the selection goes to the rehearsal mark A
an then drops to the rest in the first line (stimme),
so it leaves the stave I had been working in.
Later it goes back to the violin 1.
If you go on, you will see that it skips noteheads …
they get selected only when moving backward with the “<-” key. lied3-export.zip (7.63 KB)
in a cello sonata, the piano is exported from Sib 7.1.3. xml (compressed and uncompressed) into four parts – ie 2x2. A string quartet exported OK
Initial tests show a reasonably decent import from Sibelius – one thing I noticed a couple of times is if a double sharp is repeated in the bar, and thus not showing the accidental the second time, it sometimes plays back as a single sharp though is notated correctly. This could be a Sibelius issue but might be worth probing in case anyone else has seen something like this.
