If all you have is the file, MIDI may be your best choice, or you might
find a Sibelius user who will print the file to PDF and return it to you
so you can scan it. If you want, contact me privately and I'll do that
for you.
If you have Sibelius, you could buy the Music XML plug in from Recordare
<http://www.recordare.com/default.asp> to convert the file to Finale's
format. This is your best choice. Otherwise you might find a Sibelius
user with the Music XML plug in to convert it for you or you might try
printing the file and then scanning.
Hope that helps

Just to clarify, you use the MusicXML plug-in from Recordare to save as
a MusicXML file from Sibelius and then you open the MusicXML file in
Finale. This will transfer most of the data (but not all!).
I just wanted to be sure that Eric doesn't think that the MusicXML
plug-in will actually convert to Finale's format (.mus), since it won't.
That's the most accurate method I know of for transferring between the
two programs.
