I have been most sucessful at copying my old Finale files to Sibelius by
importing them then pasting them stave by stave (triple click on a stave,
ctrl+c, then ctrl+v to paste) into a blank, native Sibelius score of the
same design as the imported one.
That seems to make the file mostly like a native Sibelius file. Then it's
pretty easy to clean up, edit, or otherwise change it. One should also be
familiar with the many plug-ins that are useful for cleaning up imported
files as well as the very sophisticated filtering that Sibelius has.

Subject: [Finale] Opening Finale files with Sibelius 4
Like many of you, I've been fooling around with the Sibelius 4 demo. Among
other things, I tried opening a few fairly simple Finale 2004 files (saved
as ETF, as requested by Sibelius), and they are such a mess that they are
just about useless. Has anyone actually managed to get decent results? Are
there any tricks, such as copying the whole thing into some kind of
template (as I'd do in Finale)?
