XML import ignores Chord accidentals?

• Sep 18, 2024 - 16:26

Hello everybody,

I am a beginner at Musescore. I'm using Cubase to export a melody plus chords as an XML file, including the Cubase Chord Track. This imports nicely into Musescore, with one caviat:

For some reason, Musescore ignores any accidentals in my chord symbols when importing. E.g.: If Cubase has a B flat minor (Bbm) chord, it exports into XML as follows:

(harmony)
            (root)
                (root-step)B(/root-step)
                (root-alter)-1
                (/root-alter)
            (/root)
            (kind)minor(/kind)
        (/harmony)

Note that I replaced the > and < brackets with ( and ) here, because I can't get the post formatting to work.

But Musescore displays - and plays! - a Bm chord.

Is this something I can fix in Musescore? or is it something that Cubase is fomatting the chord in a different way? I have to do this for a ton of songs, so fixing it is preferable to manually going over every single chord.

Thanks for your help guys!
