I do not believe that mscore can import chords from the xml (if they be 
supported in musixml at all). In fact, scores so imported into mscore and you 
add your own chords, they will not be saved and reread by mscore (an obscure 
bug in that program for musicxml imports!!).

Got to check out that wikifoni site--is it legal?
