Cut time is imported from music xml as common time

[berebe]

Hi

I have created an exercise in cut time using an external editor, and I'm finding that Earmaster keeps importing the xml in common time. To rule out the possibility that the xml had something wrong in its notation, i did a test using a simple score with just one whole note in cut time. I have included the contents from the xml created by the editor where you can see that 2/2 is the value for the time tags, and a screenshot showing the score that Earmaster creates after importing the xml in 4/4 time. So far I haven't encountered any problems in other time signatures, including 3/2.

Is this a problem in the software, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi

We've tested this, and you are right. If you create it in EarMasters own editor, you can create it as 2/2, so EarMaster does support that time signature. We will look further into this, and try to find a suitable fix.


Thanks!
