Hi @@Rbby258, Starting with version 3.3, DDC removes automatically the XML attributes that have their default value. In your example, "fret" attributes with a value of "-1" are not generated. As DDC works with the "transcriptionTrack" input either : - transcriptionTrack is empty and DDC generates its content (without default values) - transcriptionTrack is not empty and DDC uses it (with all of its content) So depending on the inputs, DDC behaviour may change. How would you recommend i get the output im hoping to use? Using the tool and removing ddc with 3.5 works fine, im just not sure how to do it with CLi Thanks for helping
