When I try to import my Music XML export file from a piano track into Sibelius I get this Message:
The selected instruments occupy more staves than were found in the import file.
Does anybody know what to do about this?

Logic Pro X, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)
Also - another item to try is that the first clef in piece needs to be defined by the staff style clef and not by one you drag in from the part box.
Look at the region event list (see example below) and see if there is a clef meta event. It would look something like the item below in blue - if you see this - select it and delete it (press the delete key). Then try your music xml export from Logic and re-import into 3rd party software...
what is likely happening is the 3rd party software sees the staff definition with the clef and then sees another one ( that you manually inserted) and thinks there are two staffs. One at 1,1,1,1 as defined by the staff style and the other at 1,1,1,1 which you dragged in... so a conflict exists.
So deleting the manual one - should solve the problem
need more info... "my music xml export file" - where was it exported from and where are you doing the import.... not clear from the above...
if you want - send a copy of the xml file to logicprose@icloud.com
I made an piano track in Logic X Pro and made after that a MusicXML file from that. Also I tried to import an Midi file from LogicXpro into Sibelius. at that moment I see only one F-Cleff for the two parts from the piano track. Also I importtje export file from Logic X por in Musicscore I have the same problem. Only one staff is imported.
This all do I have only after updating Logic X pro recently.
At this moment I cann't send you the XMLfile. After 18:00 PM today I can.
tnks for your reaction
tnx for your answer Indyuser. I followed your advice. But it did make any sense.
I think there is something wrong in Logic X pro. Before I updated Logic Xpro to 10.4.1 I did not have any problem with XML files.
Maybe I have to reïnstall Logic X pro. What do you think?
This option you told about, I can't find in my Event list.
And I never dragged a staff in. It must be something the program does by itself.
i just made an very simple piano score. and it gave me the same problem. I did not make any change after recording it.
can you check this please....
This was in fact the issue with the file you sent me.
When i deleted the duplicate clef it imported fine.
If you send again this simpler file you have now created I can take another look.
Hello Indyuser, how can I delete this duplicated clef. I can't find it in my project.
ciao

you can click on the first clef in the score- then press delete or
open the even list and find the first clef in the event list and delete it.
