Musicxml LInebreak

• Apr 6, 2020 - 13:40

I usually have two parts to any of my music and really want to have a linebreak between these parts when I export as musicxml. Can anyone advise on how to achieve this.

That even is the default and can get changed in Preferences > Export > MusicXML
Provided the MuseScore files has that system break too of course

Yes, but many programs ignore layout formatting when importing MusicXML (MuseScore does so as well for some options) as they have different default layout algorithms leading to manual adjustments not making sense in those programs.

Anyway, in this case for layout breaks, the MusicXML file exported by MuseScore does have the info according to the standard, so it is up to the other programs to (optionally) import it correctly. Open your MusicXML file with a text editor to see the print new-system elements being there.

Just add an explicit system break in MuseScore and the exported MusicXML will contain that break.

Inspect the attached examples created with 3.4.2. Added a system break at the end of measure 3, results in the following in measure 4 in MusicXML:

    <measure number="4" width="197.55">
      <print new-system="yes">

That element is the system break you're looking for.

So why are you assuming/thinking the break isn't there in your situation?
