Following is a thread I found on the Sibelius User Forum which states the Music XML output from Sonar is 'sub standard'. I turn to the folks at Sonar to reply and hopefully correct the issue. Thanks
Hi There,
I'm importing XML files that I have exported from Sonar X3.None of the ties that I have are showing up in Sibelius.They are there in the Staff View on Sonar but are missing when I open the file in Sibelius.What am I doing wrong ?
Cheers
Justin

If you e-mail the MusicXML file to me, I will have a look at it and advise.

The MusicXML output from Sonar X3 is sub-standard, and does not specify ties completely and properly: it specifies the tie musically (in terms of its aural effect), but does not specify the notation representing the tie visually.
If you import the MusicXML into Finale Notepad (free download), then export to MusicXML again, then import the result into Sibelius, you will get a better result, at the expense of some loss of layout information.
Finale MusicXML export does a better job than Sonar.
