Fatal error: line...

• May 6, 2021 - 14:30

Help! I've created a large orchestral piece in LogicProX, exported it to MusicXML, opened it in MuseScore, and get this message: "File ... is not a valid MusicXML file. Do you want to load it anyway?" Details: "Fatal error: line 5722 column 26 Content of element duration does not match its type definition: Double content does not match the minExclusive facet.." And if I load it, "File... corrupted". I've exported many a score this way and never had a problem. Thanks!

The exact message is:
Fatal error: line 5722 column 26 Content of element duration does not match its type definition: Double content does not match the minExclusive facet..

The xml code in question is:

        <measure number="129" width="186">
            <print new-system="no"/>
            <attributes>
                <time>
                    <beats>3</beats>
                    <beat-type>16</beat-type>
                </time>
            </attributes>
            <sound tempo="103"/>
            <sound tempo="101"/>
            <sound tempo="98"/>
            <note>
                <rest/>
                <duration>0</duration>     <!--   the line in question -->
                <voice>1</voice>
                <type>whole</type>
                <staff>1</staff>
            </note>
            <note>
                <rest/>
                <duration>0</duration>
                <voice>1</voice>
                <staff>1</staff>
            </note>
        </measure>

Basically notes with no duration, this indeed looks like utter nonsese and surely is invalid.
Also 3 different tempi don't make much sense?

The corruption after that seems to be the consequence.

I guess a bug report to LogicProX is due here.

Jojo-Schmitz, thanks for your help. Is there a way to tell where - what bar(s) - the error occurs? I could try to fix it in Logic.

Above it lists measure 129. The XML check only reports the first error it finds though.
MuseScore then reports corruptions in many measures.
