MusicXML export works wonderfully from Finale,
and Sibelius comes with the ability to import
MusicXML built-in, so it's really a very
painless and pretty accurate process these days.
I don't know about the latest version, but I
bought Sibelius 5 at the time and converted
several files this way (using the Dolet plug-in
for better results). Of course, the notes are
all there, but it's hours and hours of work to
get the file to look anything like it did in
Finale. So if you have thousands or even
hundreds of Finale files, you can forget this
idea...
As I recall, it was Coda who boycotted the effort
to come up with a universally compatible file
format, something like MIDI. And to be fair, it
might have been impossible to do, but I suspect
that it was a marketing decision at a time when
Finale was unquestionably on top.
