Sib8/(Sib7): SVG-Export Bugs / Missing features
Posted by Kai Struck - 19 Oct 11:05PM (edited 19 Oct 11:07PM)
Thought I summarize my findings here.

1.Cropping and Viewbox
SVG snippets that come from a graphic selection exported from Sibelius are not cropped correctly. You get the whole page and the hidden stuff is only masked by white boxes.
The SVG Viewbox is set to show the whole page instead of only the chosen area.
It would be quite easy to correct at least the Viewbox.

2.Missing enhanced text features (see attached image)
SVGs exported from Sibelius don't support the following enhanced text features:
X-Value
Y-Value
Tracking
Underline (missing in Sibelius 7, working in Sibelius 8)


About successfully importing vector graphics from Sibelius into LibreOffice/OpenOffice you can read: http://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpcenter/chat/chat.pl?com=thread&start=704570&groupid=3&

SVG format again changed slightly with Sibelius 2018.11

Still the cropping is only with white boxes instead of setting the Viewbox correctly.
(LOSA is updated to also crop the files from Sibelius 2018.11 correctly automatically on "illustration"-import or with Tool "optimizesibsvgviewboxcropex")

It would be nice if there was a hint about the Sibelius-Version in the SVGs.

At the moment it always says "Created with Qt" in the .
Nicer would be: "Created with Sibelius 2018.11"
