Tests files for the MEI support in MuseScore

musescore-mei-tests's Issues

round-trip.sh: path to MuseScore binary incorrect on certain systems.

In ./round-trip.sh I had to change line 3 to the following:

mscoremei="$MSCOREMEI/builds/[email protected]/install/mscore.app/Contents/MacOS/mscore"

How about tweaking line 3 so that $MSCOREMEI points directly to the binary (mscoremei="$MSCOREMEI"), thus circumnavigating potential quirks of individual setups?

Microtonal time signatures lost.

As the radif-01 indicates, microtonal accidentals are lost in the MuseScore to MEI conversion.

This is expected, as we only pledged to support Common Western Notation at this stage. Besides, microtonal accidentals are outside the scope of MEI Basic.

That said, I am filing this issue for future reference. A short "developer's guide" in the wiki, explaining how support for new notations can be implemented, could help.

Hidden time signatures.

As the radif-01 demonstrates, an invisible time signature may be used in MuseScore scores to accommodate all the content of unmeasured music within one long "measure."

The invisibility property of the time signature is lost in the conversion from MuseScore to MEI.
