Hi Reinhold, the values "above" and "below" of the 'placement'-attribute don't seem to show any effect in the <direction>-element, e.g. when you substitute "below" for "above" in the following code the result of the conversion is the same. (See: 33a-Spanners.xml in http://www.kainhofer.net/musicxml/MusicXML-TestSuite-0.1.zip)
<!-- snip --> <!--=======================================================--> <measure number="15"> <direction placement="above"> <direction-type> <dashes number="1" type="start"/> </direction-type> </direction> <!-- snip --> BTW: Is the wavy line of the trill mark supposed to extend to the end of the example in 33a-Spanners.xml? Shouldn't it rather be: <!--=======================================================--> <measure number="7"> <note> <pitch> <step>B</step> <octave>4</octave> </pitch> <duration>3</duration> <voice>1</voice> <type>quarter</type> <notations> <ornaments> <wavy-line number="1" type="start"/> </ornaments> </notations> </note> <note> <rest/> <duration>6</duration> <voice>1</voice> <type>half</type> <notations> <ornaments> <wavy-line number="1" type="stop"/> </ornaments> </notations> </note> </measure> hth patrick _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
