Hi Leigh and Darcy, The problem is in the MusicXML export from Finale, not the MusicXML import into Sibelius. Our Dolet 4 plug-in does not understand Bill Duncan's fonts, so the MusicXML that is saved from Finale does not represent the chord symbols correctly. There is nothing that Sibelius could do about it.
The reason for this is that chord fonts, like music fonts, are not standardized. You have to build in the mapping from the Windows / Mac native characters to the chord symbol definition. Dolet 4 for Finale does this for Finale's built in chord font, but not for Bill Duncan's fonts. Nobody has asked us for this support before, but we could add this to a maintenance release of our Dolet 4 for Finale plug-in. If we can get 10 more Dolet 4 orders by adding this feature, that would make it cost-effective for us. Note that maintenance updates are free for people who have already purchased the Dolet 4 plug-in. Please contact me off-list for more details if you are interested in having us add this feature to Dolet 4 for Finale. A sample file that demonstrates your use of the font would also be very helpful - we will of course keep such files confidential. We have Bill's Finale Productivity Kit here; it's just the examples of using it that we need in order to make sure we add this feature correctly.
