Hi Richard, As Noel and David have mentioned, you can use MusicXML format to go between Sibelius and Finale. As with MIDI files, you write a MusicXML file from Sibelius, then read the MusicXML into Finale. But you'll get a lot more of the notation details with MusicXML than with MIDI, even with the restrictions imposed by the limits of the Sibelius plug-in development tools.
Our Dolet for Sibelius plug-in runs on Sibelius 2.1 and 3.1 on both Windows and Mac. The Finale situation is different on Windows and Mac. On Windows, Dolet Light for Finale has been included since Finale 2003. However, the full version does a better job with Sibelius tablature than the light version. You can also use the full version with any Finale for Windows from 2000 on. On Macintosh OS X, V2 of Dolet for Finale is available for Finale 2004 and 2005. If you're on OS 9, there's no plug-in available, but we can do the translation for you with our file translations services. All the plug-ins and file translation services are available at our site: http://store.recordare.com/software.html Best regards, Michael Good Recordare LLC www.recordare.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
