Cannot disable chord playback on converter mode
I'm running into an annoying bug with Musescore: I cannot disable the chord playback on converter mode.
I'm using Musescore in command line to convert a MusicXML file to audio. I just noticed that Musescore automatically add sound for chord symbols, even though I manually disabled it in the settings.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I'm missing something?
How to reproduce:
./MuseScore-3.6.0.487916429-x86_64.AppImage --export-to=output.ogg /tmp/accords-parfaits-majeurs_guitar.mxl
Listen to the output file and you will clearly ear the chord symbols were added into the mix.
Here is the relevant part of my settings file:
[import]
compatibility\apply_edwin_style=true
compatibility\apply_leland_style=true
compatibility\do_not_ask_me_again=true
compatibility\apply_edwin_for_xml=true
compatibility\do_not_ask_me_again_xml=true
compatibility\reset_element_positions=true
[score]
harmony\play\disableNew=true
harmony\play\disableCompatibility=true
I am missing something or should I file a bug report?
Thanks.

I haven't tried lately, but I think probably settings you have in your preferences aren't necessarily honored in converter. Best to actually update the score itself to explicitly turn off that style setting.

Hi Marc, thank you for your answer. My problem is that I don't really have control over this specific score. Furthermore, it's not a Musescore file, it's in MusicXML, so there are no real styles attached to it.
I guess it's an edge case, I'll try to figure something out.

I would say, first convert to MSCZ, then run through a script to add the line needed to disable chord symbol playback, then convert that audio.
Or, I guess, experiment with the various option to apply style settings via MSS files during conversion.
