What I'd do in cases like this is:

- Create a 'score' with only a middle C1 in it
- Same with a C2
- Same with a D1
- Same with a B1
- Other staff symbol
- Other key
- Look at the binary differences
- Play around with the numbers
- See if Sib can re-import it after change

Then, re-itererate for 2 notes...

Takes a long time, but may help.

If there are a _lot_ of binary changes between a C1 and a C2, then
it's probably some encrypted/compressed format...
