(Rather an issue for MEI practitioners)\n# \n\nIn my work with the Hoftheater project we have MusicXML files generated with finale 2012 and exported with Dolet Light for Finale 2012. A problem that will get passed through the XSLT transformations when going from MusicXML part-wise to time-wise, to MEI, is:\nRest (measure rests) that are automatically being generated by finale in empty measures get exported to the following MusicXML snippet (the validity of which is not to be discussed here):\n\n```\n\u003cnote\u003e\n    \u003crest measure=\"yes\"/\u003e\n    \u003cduration\u003e0\u003c/duration\u003e\n    \u003cvoice\u003e1\u003c/voice\u003e\n\u003c/note\u003e\n```\n\nBe it valid MusicXML or not, the resulting MEI will end up being invalid with sth. like:\n\n```\n\u003cmeasure\u003e\n    \u003cstaff n=\"22\"\u003e\n        \u003clayer n=\"1\"\u003e\n            \u003crest xml:id=\"d1e1519\" dur=\"\"/\u003e\n       \u003c/layer\u003e\n    \u003c/staff\u003e\n\u003c/measure\u003e\n```\n\nIf the rest was entered into finale by the user properly the resulting export will be transformed to MEI just fine:\n\n```\n\u003cnote\u003e\n    \u003crest measure=\"yes\"/\u003e\n    \u003cduration\u003e16\u003c/duration\u003e\n    \u003cvoice\u003e1\u003c/voice\u003e\n\u003c/note\u003e\n```\n\n```\n\u003cstaff n=\"21\"\u003e\n    \u003clayer n=\"1\"\u003e\n        \u003cmRest xml:id=\"d1e1490\" dur=\"1\"/\u003e\n    \u003c/layer\u003e\n\u003c/staff\u003e\n```\n\nAlthough this being a finale-Dolet-MusicXML specific Problem, it's one that MEI-practitioners will face if they follow the same workflow.\n\n_So we might implement a Dolet/finale extension to musicxml2mei.xsl_\n\nIf anyone can report similar behavior when exporting MusicXML from other notation software, I'd recommend to collect some examples. Then we might decide wheter to implement a broader solution in musicxml2mei.xsl\n\n_Copied from original issue: music-encoding/music-encoding#252_\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ahankinson","@type":"Person","name":"ahankinson"},"datePublished":"2016-04-26T00:42:47.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/4/encoding-tools/issues/4"}
