XML Import Fails with "Fatal error: line 10 column 106 Invalid character reference."
There's something at the start of this XML file that keeps the file from loading. Can someone who reads xml tell me what to fix?
This xml is generated by PhotoScore from an imported PDF, which creates occasional errors but rarely fatal errors like this. I've tried editing the Photoscore and re-exporting the xml for an hour now and just can't figure it out.
Thanks,
-Tom

This is the same Photoscore issue as reported in https://musescore.org/en/node/341235: Photoscore generates incorrectly encoded characters. In this case you have to remove a block of eight characters, starting with the ampersand at column 99 up to and including the semicolon in column 106. Fixed file attached.

Leon,
Thank you for fixing my file!
I don't yet know how to edit XML's directly. What tool did you use and how did you know what to do, so maybe I can fix it myself next time?

Is there a way to validate if a musicxml file is correct, other than just checking the schema?
I keep hearing that my Musescore musicxml files imported in Sibelius give all kinds of weird problems.
(i don't have Sibelius)

It's interesting that PhotoScore seems somehow closely allied to Sibelius, using the same menus for tools to edit its files.

Perhaps, but what is meant by "column" as in "line 10 column 106?"

column N == Nth character in that line
