export to MXL put some measures' lyrics on line 2

• Dec 9, 2019 - 16:39

Hi all,
I export to MXL to then import in Harmony Assistant because of its synthetic voice that we use to enable choristers practising by themselves when at home.
In doing so with the attached MuS file I get the wrong results in HA because the resulting MXL (also attached) contains items (m. 22, 23, 24) that show "1" and "" instead of ""
Is there something in my MuS file to correct that leads to that result, or is there an issue in the converting to xml?
Thanks for your help.

Apologies for the above not showing all my characters. I retry here differently:
[voice]1[/voice]
[lyric number="2"...][/lyric]

It is in the MXL (there counting starts at 1):

        <lyric number="2" default-x="6.58" default-y="-81.27" relative-y="-8.46">
          <syllabic>single</syllabic>
          <text>The</text>
          </lyric>

The MSCZ stems from an XML import and has some (the same) lyrics set to stanza 2 in MSCZ it starts counting at 0:

            <Lyrics>
              <no>1</no>
              <offset x="0" y="0.846491"/>
              <text>The</text>
              </Lyrics>

Try the attached, all lyrtics reset to default position and verse

What I've noticed is that even deleting the concerned lyrics words in MuS and retyping them, they still appear as "lyric number=2".
How do I reset that?
Thanks.

I did it so: open inspector, right click any lyric, select all similar elements, reset vers to 1 and reset offset in inspector.

Hello, in my opinion it's not the export to musicXML that is in question but your entry of lyrics in MuseScore. In bars 22 and 23 you have put the lyrics in verse 2 instead of 1, so just put them back in 1 and export to HA goes smoothly. I just checked it:)

Just don't enter them as the 2nd verse. Or once done, change them to 1st verse, via Inspector

Thanks to you all I've achieved another little progress in my learning process!
