Part names are based on Logic’s region names, not track names. Then you will get rests where appropriate (areas of no regions and/or empty bars) and music starting at the correct measure. You can drag the region’s leading edge to the left, or, if needed, create an empty MIDI region at 1.1.1.1 (this region name will be your part name, see below).

You need to have the first region of every track start on 1.1.1.1. If your first region on a track is not at 1.1.1.1, that’s where the XML export file puts it, and all ensuing regions move forward in time an equal amount. Properly place region start if not on 1.1.1.1. It will bring in articulation and phrasing marks (.smf doesn’t). There doesn’t seem to be the certain need to go through the steps mentioned in that article, although it can’t hurt. See my article on Logic 9 for reference on how the Score Editor display does length and duration quantization. Notes come in more faithful to the Score Editor display regarding note duration and placement. What it does better than a Standard MIDI File: If you just click to open you’ll likely not get it opened in a notation program – you can import / open via Finale / Sibelius or select one of them to open the file. Once exported you’ll find the file with a. With that in mind you could do a score set of e.g., just strings and export those. The score display is what is exported – make sure you have the correct tracks and number of tracks displayed.

This will be greyed out if a Score Editor window is not open. To access the Export feature, you need to have the Score Editor open and then go the main File Menu>Export>Score as MusicXML. smf from Sibelius or Finale for file transfers if needed. Logic’s Music XML feature only does export, not import, which makes sense – you’re likely not bringing music into Logic to clean up the notation.
