[fomus-devel] MusicXML Importing (more or less)

[David Psenicka]

I have big problems importing rhythms into Sibelius when they involve 
any kind of tuplet, even triplets (by now I'm sure that this isn't a 
problem in the XML file but in Sibelius's importing)--the other obvious 
problem with Sibelius is that the parts don't get grouped correctly, 
(though this isn't as serious, I put in a way of getting around 
this--I'm putting in a growing list of "kludge" variables to get around 
these problems). 

I'll put a list of these in the documentation as I find them--I wouldn't 
trust Sibelius at all at the moment.  So far it seems that Finale (with 
Dolet) imports all of the basic things without mangling them...
