musicxml2ly

[Martin Tarenskeen]

Attached: a simple single F chord

created from Musescore 3.4.2 (simpleChord.mscz), exported as musicxml,


Using Lilypond 2.21.1 on Linux Fedora 32.



MT

(simpleChord.musicxml) and converted using musicxml2ly without extra options (simpleChord.ly). There must be something seriously broken if musicxml2ly can't convert this simple chord correctly and returns single notes instead? I can't remember it was like this in older versions, so I am assuming a regression?
