Re: Experience with several import filters

[Jacques Menu Muzhic]

Hello folks,

I’m using musicxml2ly rather often, to convert MusicXML exported by PhotoScore 
Ultimate.

It is quite usable and does a good job, with some limitations that you have to 
live with:
        - it does not handle well \repeat’s with more that 2 alternatives;
        - upbeats (anacruses) are not nicely handled: you get a full mesure 
with skips to fill it;
        - it sometimes « loses » some lyrics on the way;
        - and for some reason, the recent versions generate \stem* commands and 
an annoying \pointAndClickOff, all of which I remove each time.

I thus recommend musicxml2ly as a useful tool for my purposes.

JM
