Enhancement request for MusicXML export: adding explicit sound tags for playback compatibility

Hello,

I would like to request an enhancement regarding the MusicXML export engine to improve playback compatibility with MuseScore 4 and other notation software. Currently, when exporting scores from Opusmodus that include articulations like pizzicato and arco, the visual text appears correctly but the playback does not switch automatically in MuseScore.

After extensive testing and discussion with the MuseScore community, it has been identified that MuseScore’s import engine requires an explicit sound tag, such as sound pizzicato="yes", within the MusicXML code to trigger a playback change. While other software like Sibelius or StaffPad can "infer" the sound from the words tag, MuseScore follows a literal interpretation and ignores the instruction if the explicit sound tag is missing.

This creates a significant bottleneck in the workflow, especially for those of us using Opusmodus for automated score generation, as every articulation must be manually re-mapped after each import.

I am asking if it would be possible to update the Opusmodus export engine to include these explicit sound tags alongside the textual directions. This would ensure seamless interoperability and a much smoother transition from algorithmic composition to final notation and playback across all platforms.

Thank you.
