Importing MusicXML les
You can import MusicXML les into existing Dorico SE projects as separate ows, for example, to
continue work on a piece started in a different notation software.
PROCEDURE
1. Choose File > Import > MusicXML to open the File Explorer/macOS Finder.
2. In the File Explorer/macOS Finder, locate and select the MusicXML les you want to import.
3. Click Open to open the Flow Import Options dialog for the rst selected MusicXML le.
4. In the Flow Import Options dialog, choose one of the following options for Player
handling:
● Create All New Players
● Merge with Existing Players Where Possible
5. Click OK to import the selected ows and close the dialog.
6. Optional: If you selected multiple MusicXML les, repeat steps 4 and 5 for each le. The Flow
Import Options dialog reopens automatically for each le.
RESULT
The selected MusicXML les are imported into the project as new ows.
●
If MusicXML les include page size, margin, and staff size settings, Dorico SE imports those
values. If they are not included, Dorico SE creates suitable settings according to the number
of instruments in the
le.
●
If you chose Create All New Players, new players are added as required for each MusicXML
le.
●
If you chose Merge with Existing Players Where Possible, any players that the imported
MusicXML les and existing project have in common are merged, for example, if you
imported a MusicXML le containing a solo piano into a project containing a piano and viola,
the imported MusicXML le is added to the existing piano player.
