XML to MuseScore Corruption at 3/2

• Oct 12, 2024 - 18:32

I imported an Music XML file and it is reporting as corrupted. I am using version 4.4.2. It happens in measure 40. The time signature should change to 3/2 but instead continues with cut and tries to make triplets. I don't know how to correct this. It won't let me change to the correct time signature because of corruption. How do I correct this to make the section 3/2?

The mxl stems from Capella (or rather CapToMusic.py CapXML to MusicXML converter version 2.4) , All MuseScore version do report that corruption

I don't see any time signature change in the mxl (none away from cut anyways), but I do see triplet being notated:

           <note>
                <rest>
                    <display-step>B</display-step>
                    <display-octave>4</display-octave>
                </rest>
                <duration>320</duration>
                <voice>1</voice>
                <type>quarter</type>
                <time-modification>
                    <actual-notes>3</actual-notes>
                    <normal-notes>2</normal-notes>
                </time-modification>
                <staff>1</staff>
            </note>

From what you found I understand that it is actually notated as triplets in the xml. I do believe that the original would not have been notated in triplets. I don't have access to the original to verify, but I will be replacing the section with a 3/2 for our consort.
Thank you for looking into it!
