MusicXML beat-repeat question

[Jacques Menu]

Hello folks,

I’m trying to understand how <beat-repeat> is working in MusicXML.

The example at 
https://usermanuals.musicxml.com/MusicXML/Content/EL-MusicXML-beat-repeat.htm 
is the only one I found, and:

        - the first measure has three two-notes chords, and a fourth one is 
missing;

        - adding the fourth one leads to the following with the attached file:
                - musicxml2ly crashes, see below;
                - MuseScore and Sibelius 7.1.3 produce 4 two-notes chords, but 
no slashes;
                - Finale 2014 produces 4 slashes, but no notes.

I’ve been wondering whether this example has ever been tested actually.

Can someone supply me with a functional beat repeat example?

Thanks!

JM
