Rosegarden creates bad XML files when exporting

[Vivien Taillandier]

Hello !

When using the export to MusicXML function in rosegarden, the generated file is corrupted.
I have to change manually "</attributes>" to "<attributes/>" (minus the quotes) when there's no "<attributes>" element.
It must be a regression because I didn't have that bug in gutsy.

version : 1.6.1 (hardy)

I tried the 1.7.0 on intrepid and the bug is still there.
I guess it should be fixed because many softwares, and specialy score editors, are using the MusicXML format for importing / exporting (like noteedit / canorus, Print Music, Sibelius ...).
This issue is annoying because you only have two choices :
   - To fix the xml file manually (it can be long)
   - To export in the midi format, but you lose a huge amount of informations.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 9.04?

I have duplicated this bug on Gentoo Linux, Rosegarden 10.02.1.

In the file, there is one segment in one track. There is only one note in the segment, and nothing else. The bug occurs when the segment does not start at measure 1. In this example, it starts at measure 2 and exhibits the bug. If you move it to measure 1, the bug goes away.

Apparently, I can only attach one file, so I will paste the relevant XML here, for measure 2. The bug is that the </attributes> tag is unmatched.

  <measure number="2">
    <key>
    <fifths>1</fifths>
    <mode>minor</mode>
    </key>
    <time>
    <beats>4</beats>
    <beat-type>4</beat-type>
    </time>
    <clef>
    <sign>G</sign>
    <line>2</line>
    </clef>
   </attributes>
   <note>
    <pitch>
     <step>C</step>
     <octave>5</octave>
    </pitch>
    <duration>3840</duration>
    <voice>1</voice>
    <type>whole</type>
   </note>
  </measure>
