ETF is no longer supported by Finale as of Finale 2007. 2007 will read ETF files but will not write them. We wrote an ETF converter once, but found that it was much more accurate to convert Finale files from a Finale plug-in instead. If you want to write out a music file that Finale and other music programs can read, your best bet is to use the MusicXML format. It is supported by over 60 applications, including Finale and PrintMusic. You can then use free, industry-standard libraries to read and write XML files. It is a lot easier to learn and use than ETF! For more information, see the MusicXML site at: http://www.recordare.com/xml.html This includes the MusicXML specifications, a tutorial, sample files, papers and presentations, links to the signup for the MusicXML developer mailing list, links to software that supports MusicXML, and much more. If you have more detailed questions, feel free to ask me off-list.
