Re: Sibelius 7 to LilyPond Conversion!

Hello Thomas,

No luck:
        - exporting from Sibelius 7.1.3 to MusicXML produces a file, but 
music2xml crashes on it;
        - save after importing those exports into Finale 2014 and re-exporting 
as MusicXML.

See below what I get. Things always end with:
            raise "More than 1 child", klass

There are messages related to slurs, and it seems Sibelius mixes slurs and ties 
happily…
Could there be such a problem in your Sibelius files?

JM
