How do I import/open .mxl files in Logic Pro? I've gone to the File menu, selected Import as the Apple manual says, but there is no command for selecting XML or .mxl. Does the track selection matter on the opening page?

either
• File > Import > MusicXML...
or
• File > Import > Other...
Both does work in Logic 10.5.1
Turning on Advanced Tools brought the entire dialog box up. Thanks.
That looks really different. Do you have all Advanced Tools and Additional Options in the Preferences enabled?
BTW to avoid file corruption, use iCloud Drive or any other cloud-based service only as a transfer option. Don't save your Logic Projects directly in the cloud nor and work with Logic Projects directly in the cloud.
This is what I get when I go to the File menu. As you can see, there is no option to choose XML files in Logic Pro 10.6.2. In the bottom screen, all the XML files are grayed out and cannot be chosen.
I agree with yoyoBen, use the cloud to transfer files, but don't work with Logic projects directly in the cloud. I used to sync to Dropbox and iCloud and ended up with fragmented files, and doing so used far too much local drive space.
Edit:
Don't save your Logic projects directly in the cloud, nor work with Logic projects directly in the cloud.
