Hi Randolph, > I don't know first hand how well Sibelius handles Unicode. > Their web site says yes, but Michael Good says no.
I think you must have misunderstood something that I said or wrote. I apologize for any confusion there. Sibelius 5 has native Unicode support built-in and it works great. This has been true for many versions now. As far as I know, Sibelius 5 does not yet fully support bi-directional text. Please correct me if that is based on old information and is no longer true. XML is based on Unicode, so our Dolet 4 for Finale plug-in has to go through many steps to do the translation back and forth between native character sets and the Unicode needed for MusicXML files. All of that is unnecessary in our Dolet 3 for Sibelius plug-in because of Sibelius's built-in Unicode support.
