Dear List,
I try to transfer music written in MuseScore 2.3.2 (Linux) to Lilypond using MuseScore's musicxml export and musicxml2ly from 2.19.80.
In the ly file created by musicxml2ly, any quoted string contains strange characters which prevent Lilypond from compiling the file. On my system, they are displayed thus (I include Kate's warning):
This also happens with literal strings (pizz, arco etc.), which are perfectly straightforward ASCII in the .musicxml file generated by MuseScore.
Can anybody give me a hint what makes musicxml2ly produce such characters? (If I remove them by hand, the produced .ly file works just fine, but of course that's not the way to go in a score that contains plenty of text markings.)
This was discussed recently. I don't recall exactly what it was about but you might search the archives (both lilypond-user and bug-lilypond). I would think it has to do with the pretty old Python version shipped with LilyPond. As a workaround (you're right that's definitely not the way it *should* be) you should be able to remove these "characters" automatically.
