You could see whether you can reduce the XML file to a tiny example that 
still breaks the import, and post it here.  We can then use that to raise a 
bug report.

You could also hand edit the XML source to get rid of the error in the 
PartGroupInfo section.

Note that, from my perspective, MusicXML is not very well defined and not 
well type-checked, which is a shame.
