Re: Unusual repeat/chorus structure

Ooops, that one escaped me…:

  In: <measure width=246.96 number=45>

Hello Don,

Thanks for the invoice.

With MuseScore 2.0.3 and musicxml2ly 2.19.55, I get the same as you:

musicxml2ly: Converting to current version (2.19.55) notations ...

It turns out that:

1) musicxml2ly does not like multiple <words/> attached to one note (a rest here):

    <measure number="27" width="168.46">

      <direction placement="below">

        <direction-type>

          <words>can modulate to D7

</words>

          <words> and repeart &quot;Please&quot;

</words>

          <words> on verse 5</words>

          </direction-type>

        </direction>

      <note>

        <rest/>

        <duration>6</duration>

        <voice>1</voice>

        </note>

      </measure>

They get translated as separate items:

            \alternative { {

                    _ "can modulate to D7" _ "on verse 5" | % 28

                    R2. }

                } _ "and repeart " Please"" \bar "||"

            }

2) measure 45 has an extra eighth rest (under "1. 2."), hence the « overfull measure » message. It’s a pity that the faulty input line it not indicated, though:

    <measure number="45" width="246.96">

      <barline location="left">

        <ending number="1" type="start"/>

        </barline>

      <note>

        <rest/>

        <duration>4</duration>

        <voice>1</voice>

        <type>half</type>

        </note>

      <note>

        <rest/>

        <duration>2</duration>

        <voice>1</voice>

        <type>quarter</type>

        </note>

      <note>

        <rest/>

        <duration>1</duration>

        <voice>1</voice>

        <type>eighth</type>

        </note>

      <barline location="right">

        <bar-style>light-heavy</bar-style>

        <ending number="1" type="stop"/>

        <repeat direction="backward"/>

        </barline>

      </measure>

The measure number can be computed, given that there are 2 divisions to a quarter note in part « P1 »:

        <divisions>2</divisions>

3/4 gives 6 divisions per full measure, and there are no time signature changes, so 271/6 = 45.166666666666667, hence measure 45.

HTH!

Hello Don,

I found a slight bug in MuseScore 2.0.3 recently (wrong order of some XML
markups in export), that will be fixed in 2.04.

Coud you send me your origianl MuseScore file privately? I’d like to perform
some experiments.

Thanks!

JM

musicXML2ly output follows: (note that I renamed the ML file so that I didn't 
clobber the lilypond file that I'd worked on.)
