:textnote relative to measure position in finale via xml

[rob canning]

hi

again this may be the fault of music xml rather than fomus but FYI:

:textnote marks when imported into finale via xml are relative to
measure position rather than attached to the note (as an articulation
would be) - so once you start doing things like inserting bars, the text
markings get out of alignment with the note heads

cheers

is there any way i can attach numbers to notes so they will stay
associated with the notes after xml import into finale?

thanks

There doesn't seem to be a way of doing that--text notes have to be put
into "directions" in MusicXML, at least this is what I gather from
looking at the DTD and exporting files with Dolet.

I think the best solution for importing into Finale will be to just
create a plugin--I haven't looked into or dealt with ECL yet, but I
should be able to create a Finale plugin which can read a .fms file, do
all of the fomus processing on it, then create Finale objects directly.
Once I have enough time (mid-May probably) I'll try this.

Hi David,

that's an extremely cool idea!! Let me know when you get to this, I
am very curious in general about interfacing LISP with other systems.
I could give it a try to at least have fomus running with ECL.

Cheers,
Kilian
