MusicXML transfer works like MIDI transfer between programs, but is much more accurate for notation. You save a MusicXML from one program, and then read the MusicXML file in another program.
For instance, Finale will not read a Sibelius file directly. Instead, Finale 2007 will read a MusicXML file exported from Sibelius. The composer using Sibelius will need to have the Dolet for Sibelius plug-in to export the MusicXML file. The latest version for Sibelius 5 is available at: http://store.recordare.com/dolet4sib.html MusicXML import into Finale has improved a lot since Finale 2007. While you can use Finale 2007's built-in MusicXML import, you will get the best results using the Dolet 4 for Finale plug-in, available at: http://store.recordare.com/dolet4fin.html Alternatively, Recordare can do the translations from Sibelius to Finale files for you.
