Hi Robert,

thanks for testing. Given that I'm not interested in the *looks* of it this is what I hoped to get :-)

Thanks
Urs

Hi Urs,

This is what your file produces with Finale 2024.5, on a MacBook with OSX

Hi,

I'm trying to add support to python-ly for exporting manual beams to MusicXML.

I managed to export the commands to start and end a beam, but that's not 
sufficient. In theory 
(https://usermanuals.musicxml.com/MusicXML/Content/EL-MusicXML-beam.htm) the 
beaming pattern is described in detail in MusicXML, and when I export something 
from MuseScore this is also what I get.

I don't see it as reasonable to properly implement this in the python-ly 
exporter (at least for now) because that would essentially mean re-implementing 
the whole beaming-pattern code from LilyPond (which even isn't fully correct 
either).

However, I realized that when I have the beam start and end encoded by 
python-ly and then (so far manually) add

         <beam number="1">continue</beam>

to each note, regardless of the actual beaming pattern situation, MuseScore 
will correctly import the XML file (and add the correct encoding when 
re-exporting to XML).

While I know this is not a correct export I think it would be a good start and 
in any case better than nothing. But I would like to know what the other 
programs will do with the code.

So I'd be happy if people could import the attached .xml file to Finale, 
Sibelius and (if possible) Dorico, and tell me about the results. Also attached 
is the reference image of what it should look like.
(Note that the .xml is manually tweaked at this point).

TIA
Urs
