Yes, I referenced the top of the thread. But the workaround/workflow/whatever I suggested there (#47) is not really concerned with the files' contents or mode of generation. As for the latter, I don't think I can be of any help. My own experience is that these files, whether being preserved or not, are placed/left in the temporary files directory (/tmp, TMPDIR etc), which is not expected to be at ~/musicformats-git-dev/files/musicxmlfiles. And now, looking at the idiosyncratic file listing (I didn't spot the hyperlink in the text version of the OP, or understand the @ sign), and a quick Order→From in my MUA, I see that the OP's platform is likely a Mac Mini M1, whatever that is, so I'll bow out. Cheers, David.
