Bug description

Hi team.

I'm using musescore4portable (4.0.2) and musescore-portable (3.6.2) and I get the following issues:

1. When I try to convert from MusicXML not compressed (xml) to MuseScore compressed (mscz), musescore4portable generates an empty file

2. When I try to extract the parts using the --score-parts, I get a different results using the musescore-portable and musescore4portable, in the musescore4portable cases the result contains differences that I think that are erroneous output.

Steps to reproduce

TEST 1:

xavier_viñas-rosa_blanca_masurca_vals.zip

The part about zero-sized output files has already been fixed in the master branch (see #16334) so it will be part of the next update.

@josepsanzcamp The second issue happens only with command line? And how this is important for regular users?
Thanks!

[cbjeukendrup]

In fact, I believe that the --score-parts option is part of the internal-ish backend api, rather than really meant to be used by users. But I'm not sure.

Hi @cbjeukendrup and @DmitryArefiev,

I'm using this option, and other more, in the command line to process automatically the scores found in my web (https://gralla.josepsanz.net/), it's not a blocking issue, but as the command line allow to use this option, I understand that you want to know the problem and for this reason, I create this entry.

I'm solving this issue processing all scores with musescose 3.6.2, for me it's not a blocking issue, I only put it in your knowledge in case it is of your interest, and if I can help you, please, be free to ask me.

Thanks by your help.

Josep.

@josepsanzcamp OK. Thank you for the additional info!
