Re: Need someone testing XML file in Finale and Sibelius (and Dorico)

Hi Urs,

I was just curious what the lilypond-export OLL-module 
(https://github.com/jpvoigt/lilypond-export/) is doing with this 
pattern. It seems the final beam closing is not fetched correctly. At 
least in MuseScore the last note with automatic beams is not beamed.
