triplets not beamed in MusicXML export

• Jul 30, 2010 - 21:27

I'm using the Myriad MusicXML browser plugin and mistakenly thought that they were not rendering triplets correctly. They pointed out after examining the music xml that I had generated with MuseScore that actually the triplets are not specified to be beamed.

This link shows the corrected music xml file:

and this one shows the original music xml file created by MuseScore for the same score:

It would be lovely if this could be rectified soon,

Let me put it another way, when I notated my score in MuseScore I notated the quarter note triplets beamed.
I would expect that when exported that they would show up beamed in whatever other program I'm importing in.
After all, its a music interchange format. What am I missing ?

I'm sorry, wrong terminology , my apologies for continuing the madness. What I mean is designated as triplets with the typical triplet marking and I suppose that is called a bracket :). I don't know why I called them "beamed" , I know what a beam is as well :) . I guess the only reason I kept that terminology going was because of the response in the Myriad plugin. The gentleman is French and perhaps "beamed" is his translation :)

To be specific , I want this:

to export and import to look the same i.e. triplet brackets over quarter notes when loaded into the Myriad plugin.

There is something that the Myriad user , an administrator and perhaps part of the dev team, did to the MuseScore MusicXML export to make it show up right in the Myriad Plugin. As I posted in that forum , Sibelius will take the MuseScore MusicXML export and import that so it renders correctly. Therefore, Sibelius is either correcting for an issue or understanding the "triplet" nature of the quarter note from other elements in the XML.

The bottom line is that I need to make it work because I can't stand how Scorch plugin lays out which is why I am using the Myriad plugin and in turn using MuseScore.
