3 tie elements on 1 note in musicXML

[RensBloom]

My exported xml contained 3 ties on a single note after it detected two ties. MusicXML should contain a maximum of 1 stop tie and 1 start tie.

      <note default-x="859">
        <pitch>
          <step>F</step>
          <octave>4</octave>
        </pitch>
        <duration>12</duration>
        <tie type="start"></tie>
        <tie type="stop"></tie>
        <tie type="start"></tie>
        <voice>1</voice>
        <type>quarter</type>
        <stem default-y="-20">down</stem>
        <notations>
          <ornaments>
            <trill-mark placement="above"></trill-mark>
          </ornaments>
          <tied type="start" orientation="over"></tied>
          <tied type="stop"></tied>
          <tied type="start" orientation="under"></tied>
        </notations>
      </note>

I put it here in the issue tracker, maybe I'll solve it on a later day (but I don't want to forget this).

I agree, at least one of these 2 starting ties must be a false positive. Could you check with the input image?

Anyway, the OMR engine should check and forbid this. I need to have a look at the code.

[RensBloom]

All ties here are false positives, but it doesn't surprise me since a lot of smaller notes are used (in a cadenza) and those are not supported yet. My point was indeed that this should forbidden (either in OMR or in musicXML export).

Smaller note heads are available, provided you set the proper processing switches on. Use menu Book | Set book parameters for this.

There are different switches, one for small black, one for small void, one for small whole. I think I should simplify this and use a single processing switch for all of them.

In commit f2ca67f34d53a8e5620438c17ab76681add3b8e2, processing switches have been simplfied. There is now a single switch for small note heads, regardless of their duration.

No news on this issue. Should we close it?
