Hi Kim and David, > I think that the full plug-in that you buy is more robust > (i.e. translates more details) and does some other things > that the plug-in which is included with Finale free does.
You can see the big differences between the built-in MusicXML in Finale 2006 and what's in the full version of the plug-in at: http://www.recordare.com/finale/dolet-upgrade.html To summarize what's at that link, the big differences are: - Batch translation options - MusicXML 1.1 export for much more accurate formatting (at the expense of compatibility with earlier versions of Finale, which is why the built-in version doesn't do it) - Better Sibelius MusicXML import, especially for chord symbols and page size - Works with more versions of Finale - More frequent updates > As far as Sibelius goes, to export to MusicXML you need to purchase the > plug-in, as far as I recall. That's correct. Sibelius 4 reads MusicXML files, but it does not write them with our Dolet 3 for Sibelius plug-in. Make sure you've upgraded to 4.1 for best results in both directions.
