Hi Werner, apparently you redesigned the musicxml harmony import as well as the internal model so time for a new set of tests.

The following test file has around 70 chord names:
Test+Chords.mxl
The good visual representation can be found in this pdf:
Test+Chords.pdf

Musescore r1098 had only 11 issues.

[measure] [musescore representation] -> [correct representation]

Issue: Missing 'add'. This indicates that e.g. 13 has to be added but 9 and 11 not. If add is not printed, it indicates that 9 and 11 are also included in the chord:

6 Cmaj^713 -> Cmaj^7add13
17 Cm^9 -> Cm^add9
64 C#^11#13 (+ wrong superscript) -> C^add#11#13

Issue: Imported as text, so not recognized harmony
24 Cmmaj7 -> Cm^maj7
25 Cm9maj7 -> Cm^9 maj7
38 C5 -> C^5 (power chord)

Issue: wrong mapping
28 Cm^7sus4b59 -> Cm^11b5
31 Cdim -> Cdim^7 addmaj7

Issue: Perhaps a typo in the chord names?
39 Cmaj^7Lyd -> Cmaj^7b5

Issue: wrong superscript (same for measure 64)
47 C#^59 -> C^#59

Issue: I don't know where the b3 is coming from. Perhaps a typo.
62 Cm^b3b13 -> Cm^addb13

Thats all.

Hi Werner,

Almost all chordnames are fixed! Only a few 2 bugs are outstanding:

The following test file has around 70 chord names:
Test+Chords.mxl
The good visual representation can be found in this pdf:
Test+Chords.pdf

[measure] [musescore representation] -> [correct representation]

Issue: wrong superscript
47 C#^59 -> C^#59

Issue: one I missed previous time:
70 C -> C^omit5

Thats it. Harmony musicxml import is getting really nice and much better than any other program (sibelius, finale, ...).
