Re: [musicxml] Suppress the 'non-controlling' attribute in measures

The music internal model of capella does not need the concept of 
'measure' as a primary concept, either. But Finale's and Sibelius' do,
 and so does MusicXML's model. There may be measures that are not 
filled completely in some voice or staff, but no barline is generated 
there. So MusicXML needs the extra hint "non-controlling". If your 
software is different in that respect, it should easily be able to 
encode and display such multi metric things. And it should be possible
 for you to support the non-controlling attribute for exchange.
Of course this is not quite trivial, and the world wide range of 
stakeholders and customers for this feature is small. But if you want 
to do more work on that, I can give you some support. E.g. the capella
 export is done with a python script CapToMusic.py, open source. You 
can get it from the capella demo version, or directly from 
http://bjungmann.privat.t-online.de/CapToMusic.zip. But I warn you: It
 is long and more complicated than I had expected when I started with 
it! For further details contact me off list at bjungmann@t-online.de.
