Export not working

• Nov 30, 2020 - 05:41

Howdy, I have a version of the twenty-sixth Goldberg variation. The variation has two simultaneous time signatures (18/16 and 3/4). It looks all good in MuseScore and saves well as a mscz file, but when I export it to musicxml then there is only one time signature (18/16) and the notes get messed up as well. Files are attached

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Earl

Hi, Earl,

I think that in MusicXML we can only have one time signature for any "part" at any particular place in the score.

In any case, in your MusicXML file, the time signature for Part 1 (the only part there is) is encoded as 18/16.

I'm not sure what your best bet is to deal with that.

I haven't looked yet into why the notes in the bass staff seem to end up with the wrong octave when the MusicXML file is imported back into MuseScore. (Supper happened!) The same happens when the MusicXML file is imported into Overture.

Later.

Best regards,

Doug

Hi, Earl,

Is there some reason you did not just make the lower staff have a treble clef rather than leaving its original bass clef and then doing an immediate clef change? MuseScore doesn't seen to want to encode that properly into the MusicXML file.

I just tried that change here and it seems to work better as to the notes. (Of course there is still the time sig problem.)

I've attached the amended score file and the resulting MusicXML file.

Thanks for your quick reply Doug! I made the clefs changes as per your suggestions and things look much better, but yes, there is still the issue with the time signature, where both are 18/16 and the 3/4 just gets lost :(

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Earl
