Mid-clef changes imported via MusicXML not working

[KeyboardArt]

I've been writing software that generates music notation and exports a MusicXML file. For the most part this is working quite well with Finale. But when I insert a clef change via <attributes> mid measure in the MusicXml like this: <attributes><clef><sign>G</sign><line>2</line></clef></attributes> per the documented standard Finale fails to display a clef change when imported into Finale.

When I test this using Finale I change a clef mid-measure per the documentation and it appears correctly. But when I export this Finale generated file and then re-import it the clef change is lost. It appears that Finale doesn't represent this properly in musicxml. In fact the notes that appear after the clef change in this test are exported as though they were in the previous clef and in turn display as such when imported.

Any ideas?

I have noticed similar things when importing recognized scans from SmartScore. it might very well be a Finale problem.

Could you please message me with a copy of the MusicXML file? Thanks!

I discovered that in my example I had a clef change of the same clef by mistake. When I actually change to a different clef it all works fine. It appears that Finale was clever enough to omit it since it was a duplicate. It's all good. Thanks, and my mistake.
