ABC import has stopped working
I'm having problems with ABC imports in MuseScore 1.3 (tag mismatch at line 5 column 7 - every time). I've downloaded the Beta version of MuseScore 2.0 but can't find an ABC import there at all.
I have read previous conversations about similar problems, but none of the solutions apply: or else, I don't understand them.
I'm not much of an IT person... help? Please?

I'm having the same issue with this the past two days. Tried re-installing MuseScore (non beta) and still no luck.

[EDIT: oops, sorry, misread]
If you are using 1.3, have you installed the plugin? If so, what specifically goes wrong when you run it? the same error as shown in the original report? Can you post the ABC file you are having trouble with? Probably a question for the developer of the ABC->MusicXML converter.
If you are using 2.0, you will need to wait until the plugin is updated to support 2.0. Or run the plugin from 1.3, import the file, export as MusicXML, then import into 2.0. Or use the online ABC -> MusicXML converter and import the results of that.

OK, I see what you mean. Probably something is going wrong with the online service the plugin uses. Meanwhile it works fine to go to the site directly - http://abc2xml.appspot.com/ - and do the conversion to MusicXML there. The resulting XML file imports just fine.

What happened????
I don't understand, I have the same mistake( tag mistake at line 5 column 7), I can't do ABC import.

See my response above. Apparently there is an issue with the server or something, but you can use the online service to convert to MusicXML and import that. The link is in my response above.
