That certainly is the case - as much as MusicXML is supposed to be a universal format, every program handles things differently. This makes it incredibly hard to achieve accurate and predictable results (for all software, not just BIAB).
Indeed ... definitely not just BIAB. The problem with universal formats is they try to do everything for everyone, so they can be fiendishly complex and sometimes the users just handle what they need and ignore the rest.

MIDI files are quite complex enough; wrap that in another standard and it gets tough. It sounds like like a standard format should be easy, but it most certainly is not.

Thanks for confirming those. What's frustrating is that I've reported all but one of them in the past, but heard nothing more and the bugs remain.
