The only way that files will ever be truly convertible with complete perfection and complete transparency in the process will be when the two companies sit down and agree on a file format that both will use. We know that will never happen.
Well, I am not so sure. The only thing that has to happen is that Music XML becomes so sophisticated that it can display a score completely accurately, including layout, text, figured bass etc. Once that is established it is simply a matter of time when every music program will support it. Ideally there should also be a Music XML display application, which can print, play, and display music files. Then Music XML is going to be the standard for online publication of music.
I agree we are a long way away from that... Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com http://www.camerata-berolinensis.de _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
