I can’t say for certain, but converting text formats is what I do, so I may be able to help. I’m not familiar with the Finale XML format, but if you can send me a sample or a specification, I’ll see what I can do. A few comments: 1. I don't think there's anything absurd about wanting to generate MusicXML output. IMO, it's seriously needed by anyone who want to collaborate with other composers. I work almost 100% in LilyPond even though I own a full copy of Finale 2010. LilyPond produces better looking output and, for me anyway, it's far faster to enter any music that has a significant number of articulations and dynamics. OTOH, I was recently working with a very fine arranger to harmonize a song I wrote. She works in Finale only and is not likely to convert to LilyPond anytime soon. So I had to use Finale while we were collaborating and then re-enter the finished composition by hand in LilyPond to get the output quality I wanted. 2. In the same vein, Finale's midi creation and playback capabilities are currently very far ahead of LilyPond. However, I can't easily avail myself of them because so much is lost trying to import LilyPond midi output to Finale. OTOH Finale does a very good job of importing MusicXML and generating midi from that. 3. MuseScore looks very promising as a free GUI and it can output .ly xml2ly but can't go the other way. 4. I realize it's a difficult problem. From what I think I understand from Reinhold K's prior work, successful translation requires more than syntax mapping from .ly to .xml -- there are also semantic differences, ie. LilyPond expresses more of the musical intent than MusicXML. Hence it's unlikely that a musicxml2ly program can do the job without re-creating all of Lily's internal logic. 5. Apparently Reinhold, Han-Wen, and others came to the conclusion that the right way to go involves creating an additional backend for LilyPond to generate the MusicXML. However, as discussed in the thread linked below, it seems as though such a backend would have to access at least two different stages in the processing chain. http://old.nabble.com/MusicXML-backend-for-lilypond--td17957920.html I'd be willing to help out -- in whatever small way I can -- if someone wants to revive the effort.

Shane As a side note finding a publisher has been a lengthy process that has as of yet yielded no contracts. The last effort was the first time I had an editor respond with any enthusiasm, but he unfortunately was working for a subsidiary that dealt in a different specific genre.

I can’t say for certain, but converting text formats is what I do, so I may be able to help. I’m not familiar with the Finale XML format, but if you can send me a sample or a specification, I’ll see what I can do. A few comments: 1. I don't think there's anything absurd about wanting to generate MusicXML output. IMO, it's seriously needed by anyone who want to collaborate with other composers. I work almost 100% in LilyPond even though I own a full copy of Finale 2010. LilyPond produces better looking output and, for me anyway, it's far faster to enter any music that has a significant number of articulations and dynamics. OTOH, I was recently working with a very fine arranger to harmonize a song I wrote. She works in Finale only and is not likely to convert to LilyPond anytime soon. So I had to use Finale while we were collaborating and then re-enter the finished composition by hand in LilyPond to get the output quality I wanted. 2. In the same vein, Finale's midi creation and playback capabilities are currently very far ahead of LilyPond. However, I can't easily avail myself of them because so much is lost trying to import LilyPond midi output to Finale. OTOH Finale does a very good job of importing MusicXML and generating midi from that. 3. MuseScore looks very promising as a free GUI and it can output .ly xml2ly but can't go the other way. 4. I realize it's a difficult problem. From what I think I understand from Reinhold K's prior work, successful translation requires more than syntax mapping from .ly to .xml -- there are also semantic differences, ie. LilyPond expresses more of the musical intent than MusicXML. Hence it's unlikely that a musicxml2ly program can do the job without re-creating all of Lily's internal logic. 5. Apparently Reinhold, Han-Wen, and others came to the conclusion that the right way to go involves creating an additional backend for LilyPond to generate the MusicXML. However, as discussed in the thread linked below, it seems as though such a backend would have to access at least two different stages in the processing chain. http://old.nabble.com/MusicXML-backend-for-lilypond--td17957920.html I'd be willing to help out -- in whatever small way I can -- if someone wants to revive the effort.

Fwd: no natural sign when clef changes
Begin forwarded message: From: Shane Brandes sh...@grayskies.netmailto:sh...@grayskies.net Date: 31 March 2011 23:18:35 GMT+01:00 To: James Lowe james.l...@datacore.commailto:james.l...@datacore.com Subject: Re: no natural sign when clef changes The terminal f if natural requires a natural sign regardless of that clef change. Other wise, and being the same pitch as the previous instance it will perforce have the weight of a sharped note. Probably not the most common thing to see, but there you are. Remember it is always better to over inform than confuse, but here it is just a normal cancellation.

However were this f an octave higher I'd say no natural (cancellation) is needed. So is this pitch being judged as higher just because it is 'higher' in the staff or is it really an octave higher? Otherwise it ought to have a natural by default.

Major version: LilyPond 2.14.0 released!
GLASGOW, Scotland -- April 1, 2011 -- The LilyPond development team is proud to announce LilyPond 2.14, the latest stable release of our award-winning music engraver. Music notation for everyone has never looked better! http://lilypond.org Following the open-source motto of release early, release often, we are making 2.14 available now. There are still a few regression bugs compared to 2.12, but we urge everybody to download 2.14.0 from the lilypond website when it becomes available and use it in their production systems. Let us know if anything doesn't work; we love getting feedback! We have introduced a new bug voting system on our website to allow us to better direct programmer effort: http://lilypond.org/website/bug-reports.html Other major new features include: * eyeglass markup, to remind musicians to watch the conductor at critical moments. * in tablature, frets can be indicated with colored letters instead of numbers. * The Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm is now fully supported for single-line markup due to enhanced integration with Pango, and we now use FT_Error in the prototype for freetype_error_string(). * 128th note downstems are now 0.15 staff-spaces shorter.

Re: Major version: LilyPond 2.14.0 released!
Oh bloody mao. It's only been out for 2 hours, and you already found a regression in Emoticon_engraver?! sigh. ... well, it's too late to cancel the release, so I guess we'll go down on record as having the fastest Critical bugfix by releasing 2.14.1 Really Soon Now (tm). I've just pushed a fix for the :-/ issue, so now we just need to wait for a few hours until my desktop finished building all the binaries and docs again.

Worse yet, when one tries to remove this engraver, lily issues the following warning: :-/ before refusing to compile. However, I believe that these are minor inconveniences and look forward to using 2.14 to redo all of my scores with light bulbs and toothy grins!
