Music Notation Best and Worst for MusicXML - Compare Dorico Finale GuitarPro Sibelius MuseScore

This video looks at music notation, best and worst for *MusicXML.* While importing a file into *Dorico* from *GuitarPro,* I ran into a serious problem. To confirm that it wasn't a file problem, I decided to compare importing results with notation programs.
This video is about my surprising results.
Another surprise is that one *FREE* *software* is as good as the best paid software.

Super useful video; thank you! Hopefully the software publishers will check this video out!

Hi - interesting... are you on latest version of GP and Dorico.? Maybe, in the case of Dorico, its already had some improvements/fixes..? Either way, no doubt Dorico developers would be keen to look at your MusicXML file from GP, to see whats going on. Post a note about it on their forum pages..? Just a suggestion

Did you quantize your MIDI before exporting it to mxml? Doesn't look like it...

[innerthreatcircus]

have you tried to create the score in Dorico and the do the test? Or MuseScore, I think GuitarPro might be generating the bad XML and you can't forge programs to read bad XML.

Have you found any software that fully accommodates the needs of a guitarist, like playback of pull-offs, realistic strumming and sound that is not synthetic?

[innerthreatcircus]

you can forget that? Not getting the right instrument? What if you had an orchestra and had to change 20 instruments?

Unfortunate that Finale will no longer be developed or supported.

Watch my video, "How Dorico Pro5 absolutely destroyed my Notion6 music score and audio" I've tried it both ways importing and each time I get the same horrible results. Dorico Pro5 for me is an absolute mess--a total waste of money.
