3 years ago Import seems to work fine. I clearly had not finished export. I will see how much work doing that should take.
This is much more challenging than bringing the notes of a MusicXML score into Csound or CsoundAC. Furthermore the CsoundAC score is even more primitive than the Csound score, and knows nothing of tempo changes, bar numbers, and so on.
If there were code to translate a MIDI file to some sort of MusicXML, that would probably suffice as it would match the primitivity of the CsoundAC score.
In fact, MuseScore does a pretty damn good job of bringing a CsoundAC-generated MIDI file into notation that can be followed, and this of course can then be exported as MusicXML.
Doing much more than that, would involve adding a lot of decoration to the CsoundAC Event and Score classes. The Event has a property map that might support this, but I think I do not feel like doing this much work.
I had import working long ago, and coded export but I don't recall it working. I dropped these features from my build but now I have put them back.
Import is working again I think.
I need to write a sensible test for export.
This was not much work. Unfortunately, the MusicXML library from Grame is not available as a Linux package, and must be built from source. Furthermore, only the master branch builds and installs all features I need, the dev branch has been cleaned up but consequently does not install in the right place and does not install all features that I need.
