Extra Rests

• Apr 24, 2023 - 09:21

I've recently discovered the app Playscore 2 which allows scanning of scores page by page using the iPhone and exporting them as xml files. It looks very effective in doing this, saving huge amounts of time compared with keying in note by note.
The accuracy is really good mostly but I'm getting extra rest marks above each part and haven't found a way of deleting them, see attachment. What's the secret?
It would also be great if it could read lyrics as well, so does anyone have experience with the app and doing this?

Please share the XML too, seems Playscore gets something wrong there, or the import gets it wrong, it seem Soprano and Bass is notate in voice 3, Alto and Tenor in voice 2, what you're seeing are the voice 1 rests.
Swapping voice 3 and 1 resp. 2 and 1, then deleting the (now) voice 3 resp. 2 rests would work

The XML has this

<note>
  <rest measure="yes"/>
  <duration>8</duration>
  <voice>22</voice>
  <type>whole</type>
</note>

and

<note>
  <chord/>
  <pitch>
    <step>D</step>
    <alter>0</alter>
    <octave>4</octave>
  </pitch>
  <duration>1</duration>
  <voice>5</voice>
  <type>eighth</type>
  <stem>up</stem>
  <staff>1</staff>
</note>

and

<note>
  <pitch>
    <step>C</step>
    <alter>1</alter>
    <octave>4</octave>
  </pitch>
  <duration>2</duration>
  <voice>17</voice>
  <type>quarter</type>
  <stem>up</stem>
</note>

Seems MuseScore in import makes a 3 out of the 22 ((22+1)%4==3) and a 2 out of the 5 and the 17 ((5+1)%4==2 (17+1)%4==2)
So it seems that indeed Playscore it the culprit
