The Gedcom that Roots Magic and Legacy use for shared events is identical.We have done extensive testing on this.
It was based, in part, on this common Gedcom that we approached Darrin and asked for support as it was not just a Legacy thing.
I also do not use Shared events but would like to. My usage of them would depend on TNG's support as TNG is my primary way of publishing my data.
I also do not use LTools.

I sure hope that there will be a concensus amoungst the genealogy software makers on a standard,
but until that happens you RISK fouling up any data export/ imports unless the source or destination are using compatible software.
PLEASE be careful when exchanging data.

- Legacy TNG Users,
- How are you handling your shared events when you export your Gedcom
- for TNG? Is it important for you to have your Shared event displayed
- on your TNG web site?
- Currently, TNG does not support importing shared events even though
- both Legacy 8 and Roots Magic export shared events with basically the
- same Gedcom.
- When Legacy 8 was released in Nov 2013, TNG's developer Darrin seemed
- to commit to supporting shared events by TNG 11. However, since
- making that commitment, he has not heard from you that you want them
- supported so he is no longer committed to doing it.
- If you want shared events in TNG, it is time to write him and say
- that you are expecting this support soon.
- Just this past week, I had a contact buy Legacy and TNG so he could
- move from FTM and use shared events.
- I know there are many more people with this interest. As my principal
- publishing is done on the Web with TNG, shared events are useless to
- me until TNG can support them.
- Please let your voices be heard.... :-)
