Wrong chord playback when importing from XML
Dear MuseScore users,
See attached file.
The Ab chord plays as expected, the other chords don't (even though they look fine).
This file has been imported from .musicxml.
The XML file has been generated by Soundslice (it reads a PDF and comes up with the sheet music).
Sometimes all chords work fine, sometimes some chords are fine and some are not and in this case, none are good (the Ab was manually fixed as described below).
I can solve the issue by editing the chord (no need to retype, just edit by using F2 e.g. is enough).
However, this is a lot of effort considering the length and number of scores I have.
Why does this happen?
And how can I solve this?
It doesn't really matter that it imports like this, but hopefully there is a quick fix (e.g. editing all chords at once).
Unfortunately, cutting/copying and pasting the chords doesn't work.
Many thanks in advance!

Please share the XML (and the PDF) too
The reason is the flat glyph being part of the 'broken' chord symbols, (but a plain 'b' in the working one)

I might have a fix for this (replacing flat with b and sharp with # on XML import of chord symbols), but would need the XML to check

See attached XML document (straight from Soundslice).
The problem is with my XML documents.
Instead of root-alter elements containg "-1", it has kind elements containing the flat glyph.
My XML
root>
root-step>A/root-step>
/root>
kind text="♭">other/kind>
How it should be
root>
root-step>A/root-step>
root-alter>-1/root-alter>
/root>
Would there be a way to change this easily?
Including exceptions such as
kind text="♭sus">other/kind>
kind text="♭m">other/kind>
And sharps for other scores.
Many thanks again in advance!

I contacted the Soundslice team about this, and they fixed this within 15 minutes! (verified by me)
Thanks a ton for your efforts!
Without your diagnosis I couldn't have asked them to fix it.

Excellent, so no need for me to try to fix it in MuseScore

Thanks! You're right, it indeed looks like only the chords with a flat glyph 'break'.
Would there be a way to change all flat glyphs to a plain b?
Just like you can 'Find and replace' lyrics.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I just saw your latest comment. That would be awesome. I'll upload the XML later.
