Hi Linda, To further clarify what J D and Eric have said...
To go from Sibelius to Finale, export a MusicXML file using our Dolet for Sibelius plug-in. You'll get by far the best results using the Dolet 5 for Sibelius together with Sibelius 6.2. Sibelius has had MusicXML import built-in for several versions now, but you need the plug-in for export. Finale 2011 does a very good job of importing and exporting MusicXML files. The full Dolet 5 for Finale plug-in contains several enhancements to optimize transfers back and forth with Sibelius. If you do lots of translations, it will be worth the upgrade. The full Finale plug-in also becomes more valuable as you work with older and older versions of Finale. Finale has had MusicXML import and export built-in since Finale 2003 on Windows and Finale 2006 on Mac. The plug-ins are available at: http://store.recordare.com/dolet5sib.html (Sibelius plug-in) http://store.recordare.com/dolet5fin.html (Finale plug-in) Best regards, Michael Good Recordare LLC www.recordare.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
