Thanks, I tried that but I still get around 20 or so negative skips with only the first measure. As much as I'd like to get this to work I believe I'd be best off reytyping this manually because I don't have much time to finish this and it seems it'd require some time to get into the materia first. Anyway, I'd have to ask for permission first before I could send you the file but let me know if you're interested to see it. When I'm done with this I'll experiment more with musicxml to be prepared for future projects. This is my first big copying job and I haven't foreseen the possible usefulness of this tool. Thanks for the help and input so far. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Help-with-musicxml2ly-tp133253p133291.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
