XML errors with Sibelius

When I open one of the xml files created by Symphony with Sibelius, I get a series of errors of the form

 "Datatype error: Type:InvalidDatatypeValueException, Message: Value 'e' is not in enumeration ." at line 14 column 83

The xml file is here

The errors seem to all involve this tag: <root-step>e</root-step>

    Yep this is a bug, though, I'm not sure who's at fault yet. MuseScore loads it up fine but under Sibelius 7 I'm getting the same warning as you, except it says this

    It was still able to load the file (http://i.imgur.com/p1VFe.png). Were you able to load the file too?

    I don't have access to a copy of Sibelius at the moment, but I'm pretty sure the issue is that Sibelius is expecting capitalized letters. Try replacing <root-size>e</root-size> with <root-size>E</root-size> and so on.

    If that is what is causing Sibelius is complain, then I'll definitely fix it for the next update.

    Replacing the lower case letters with capitals fixed the errors.

    Thanks for the help. This has been fixed in the next version (2.3).

    I have a similar problem with finale.

    Hi, please email the MusicXML and Symphony file to [email protected] and I'll take a look at it.

    Did that. I am also having problems exporting audio. It plays back extremely fast.
