One issue identified: when "small" is set on the chord of a grace note, a "cue" element is incorrectly (also) generated, which is not allowed by the MusicXML schema.

Title [MusicXML export] invalid XML export: element tie is not defined in this scope ⇒ [MusicXML import/export] incorrect handling of small notes, grace notes and cue notes

After fixing the small grace note issue, MuseScore exports valid MusicXML. Also see #290764: MuseScore saves out invalid MUSICXMl file.

Further investigation shows the following issues with small notes, grace notes and cue notes:
- cue notes are not imported as silent (non-playing)
- all small note are exported as cue notes instead of only silent small notes
- small grace notes are exported with both grace and cue elements, which MusicXML does not allow
