musicxml2ly: group-symbol none leads to bus error

2011-10-19 Thread Patrick Schmidt
Hey all, The value 'none' of the element 'group-symbol' (none) leads to a bus error when the converted .ly-file is compiled with LilyPond v2.15.14. The compilation fails. There is no problem with the conversion and compilation of the other group-symbols (brace, line and bracket). (The MusicXML

Hi Reinhold, the values "above" and "below" of the 'placement'-attribute don't seem to show any effect in the -element, e.g. when you substitute "below" for "above" in the following code the result of the conversion is the same. (See: 33a-Spanners.xml in http://www.kainhofer.net/musicxml/Music

Hey all, here is a tiny example (see file attached) to demonstrate the issue: the musicxml2ly-conversion results in a common treble clef instead of a bass clef. Without the number attribute everything works as expected. MusicXML allows number attributes in clef elements, so it's valid XML-code.
