I thought(hoped) that we had got past the
days of "Standards aren't" :-)

Unfortunately it seems not much has changed since my early 
experience in the 80s. <sigh!>

I only posted this because I thought that it might be useful to
those working on musicxml2ly.

And, by the way, the chordnames above the staves vanished
somewhere in your import.

I've now got two versions that I can try to work with.

So, thanks for having a go.

Cheers,
