There doesn't seem to be a way of doing that--text notes have to be put into "directions" in MusicXML, at least this is what I gather from looking at the DTD and exporting files with Dolet. I think the best solution for importing into Finale will be to just create a plugin--I haven't looked into or dealt with ECL yet, but I should be able to create a Finale plugin which can read a .fms file, do all of the fomus processing on it, then create Finale objects directly. Once I have enough time (mid-May probably) I'll try this. rob canning wrote:

hi

again this may be the fault of music xml rather than fomus but FYI:

:textnote marks when imported into finale via xml are relative to measure position rather than attached to the note (as an articulation would be) - so once you start doing things like inserting bars, the text markings get out of alignment with the note heads

cheers

is there any way i can attach numbers to notes so they will stay associated with the notes after xml import into finale?

thanks
