Strange problems with MusicXML
Hello,
I recently acquired a braille music editor with the idea of translating scores into hard copy braille. I first translated a midi file from midi to musicXML using musescore from the command line. There were a few problems, as I was using musescore 1.3, notably the fact that the key signature was wrong, due to the zero offeset on the circle of fifths. However, despite this, it loaded into my braille music editor with no problem. I was able to correct the key signature, and all was fine.
However, I came to do the same thing with musescore 2, and it wouldn't let me import it into the Braille editor. Yes, you're probably right, it is a problem with the braille editor.
I'm loath to downdate to version 1.3, since the latest version of musescore is a lot more accessible, but what I really need to know is whether the formation of musicxml has significantly changed between version. I've noticed that the circle of fifths problem has now been corrected, but it looks like I'm going to have to put up with it. It looks like it is crashing when trying to read the part ID node.
Any ideas/thoughts would be much appreciated,
David.

Hi, Which braille music editor are you using? Does it say anything when not importing the MusicXML file?
Did you try http://musicxml2braille.appspot.com/ ?

Hi,
The editor I'm using is Braille Music Editor, and this is the kind of message I get when importing XML.

Could you also share the tedxml.xml file? You should be able to attach it with the "File attachments' link below the comment field.

Well, the MusicXML file looks good. So even with the BME message it's hard to know what's going on. I'm afraid you will have to contact them. Maybe try to update to the last version of their tool if you are not running it already.

Many thanks for taking a look. Just for interest, here is the XML generated by Musescore 1.3.
