So, I have a publisher interested in publishing a work of mine, but
says they need the file in Sibelius format (groan!)

I have a friend who uses Sib, but he is extremely busy and I hate to
impose upon him. it’s a fairly large file, 33 pages for brass band,23
staves, 3000 frames. How much work is involved, approximately? It
looks like I could purchase a lifetime license for the software for
$200, would this be a good time for me to learn the program? (I am 66
years old with a few health problems in my past Including a spine
injury which makes sitting at the computer for long hours much more
difficult than it used to be - I am not certain of my longevity
prognosis, and I would rather spend my remaining years trying to
create something new then learning new software. Financially, this is
not a mass market work, so paying a professional to convert this would
probably not make sense for me, although I haven’t been published much
and I would like to get it out there even if I lose a little. In the
meantime, I am trying to look for other publishers.

Any advice will be very much appreciated!
