After thinking about this for about a week, I still cannot imagine any structural solution for this issue. As it leads to the crash described in issue 55501, I very would like to have it fixed (or at least worked around) in 2.0.1. The reason it is difficult to fix is that the MusicXML file simply does not contain the drum set mapping (translation from symbol on a staff line to drum instrument). I would prefer to both fix the crash and import the parts as working percussion parts.
Possible solutions (sorted on amount of effort) could be: Import the part as percussion part but ignore notes if the drum set mapping is not known. Very easy, but for the files attached to issue 55436 (note: generated by a recent Sibelius version, not some obscure program) the drum parts will be empty. Import the part as a regular (non-percussion) part. This is relatively easy to implement, places all notes correctly and conforms with the MusicXML spec, but results in a part that does not behave or sound as a drum part. This is the solution used by Finale NotePad. Import the part as a percussion part and try to guess the drum set mapping, e.g. by assuming the MuseScore default drum set is similar. This is a lot more work, probably results in a somewhat working percussion part, is strictly speaking not conform the spec and very well may result in drum instruments that are incorrectly mapped (and thus sound incorrect). Unless someone has a better idea, I will try to implement the second option within a few days and hope to be in time for 2.0.1. -- View this message in context: http://dev-list.musescore.org/How-to-import-file-with-missing-drum-set-tp7579160p7579181.html Sent from the MuseScore Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Mscore-developer mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mscore-developer
