Voice vs Staff in Generated MusicXML?

• Oct 27, 2015 - 21:14

Hi. I am trying to understand the rules around using "staff" element vs using "voice" element. Can someone share them in this forum?

I have imported a MIDI file into MuseScore, it plays perfectly, I export it and it has no staff elements. I can make minimal notation changes, export, and suddenly I have staff elements in it.

I ultimately want all of my music to save with no staff elements, as I am writing a small MusicXML importer and the staff element is kind of getting in the way.

All ideas about rules for staff/voice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
