Description

Issue type

Import/export issue

Description with steps to reproduce

[originally discussed in w3c/musicxml/discussions/552]

The MusicXML file below found in the internet (and shortened) demonstrates the handling of <octave-shift> as done by Sibelius 18.12.0. Here is the (correct) rendering of the file with Finale 27.4:

According to #21499, MuseScore should be able to handle this. However, I get the following, incorrect result.

Since Finale apparently handles <octave-shift> similarly to Sibelius (it also works if I remove the <software>...Sibelius...</software> tag), the intended fix in #21499 should be extended to cover Finale MusicXML files, too.
