[MEI-L] Tools for encoding in MEI

[Zayne Upton]

Thanks David.I’ve tried Atom now but struggling a bit with it - It doesn’t seem to like the exported MEI file from Sibelius. I’ll try the MuseScore trick.

Cheers

MuseScore seems to regularise the MusicXML a little, which can help especially for slur positions and other graphical elements.

Some of the team members are using Sibelius to notate the music in staff notation and I'm then using SibMEI to convert to MEI. The issue though is that the conversion is not completely accurate and I need to further edit the XML. What I'm struggling with is finding the best tools to do so. There is a plugin for Oxygen that I'm trying to get to work, but to no avail.
