Issues with generating leadsheets

[henkkelder]

Hello,

In this app I am maintaining (Opwekkingsliederen) we are investigation the possibilities of OSMD to render musicxml's files that origin from Finale.

The results are actually quite fine, but there are also some issues.

This image shows how verse numbers are not in line with the verses:

This image shows that textual items collission with each other:

This images show errors that occur while rendering:

What is the best approach to find solutions for this?

You don't use leadsheet mode, you just use a "leadsheet" MusicXML file, right?
Can you share the sample? Hard to say what's happening in your sample exactly without looking at it.
(rename it to .txt or zip it)

I tried 'leadsheet mode'. But that modes leaves stuff away, zo tells me the musicguy.

Here an example with funny verse numbers and some collesions.

Well, that's not ideal MusicXML ;)

The MusicXML says it wants to write "1." as a separate staff text, so that's what OSMD does.

If you remove those directions, it renders better:

I'm guessing someone wrote and dragged those numbers in front of the lyrics in Finale, but I think there's a way to tell MusicXML to use verse numbers that's more reasonable and easier to read.

And please share the original sample from the first post, because that one apparently creates an error, which the other one doesn't.

I'll pass your finding about the verse numbers to the guys producing them :-)

This is the one giving the error as in the first post.
