EDIT: have a look here https://blog.karimratib.me/2020/11/30/ireal-musicxml.html Thank you. I tried to upload the html here but apparently only images are permitted in this forum. I tried renaming it. Did not work :-( I was able to paste the complete text content of the html here but it seems to widen the forum layout something crazy. This forum seems to have an issue with wide txt and no gaps. I deleted that again. Is there any other way I am not aware of? EFIT: I will send you the html contents in text form in a PM.
