[Finale] Sibelius to Finale

2008-07-08 Thread Eric Fiedler
I know this has been discussed many times on this list, but ... A client has just sent us a huge Sibelius file to be worked on. What is the best way to get it into Finale with as much detail as possible being saved in the transition? (so a MIDI-solution would only be a solution if all else

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

I am a little out of touch with current Mac software, which easy to use web designer is recommendable? Would it be worth getting the Apple software package? I have used Adobe GoLive in an old OS 9 version, and, to be honest, it was actually too powerful, or rather, too complicated for my

Apple's iWeb is extremely basic, but it may be enough for your needs. I'm happy with Freeway from http://www.softpress.com : there are two versions, Pro and Express, which you can try as free downloads (limited to a month, I think). Even the Express version gives you more power than iWeb.

Hi Eric, You'll get the best results using the Sibelius dolet from Recordare for export from Sibleius and use the latest Finale Dolet from Recordare (not the Finale built XML import) for import into Finale. Contact me off list if you need help. Best regards, John John Hinchey Hinchey

I can second the recommendation to look into Harmony Assistant. While it is not as flexible with regard to graphic editing and output as one would like to be, it is a very interest environment in which to produce music, and is, perhaps, the shape of things to come in a future generaiton of

Hi Eric, As Richard and David have mentioned, MusicXML is the most accurate way to transfer files between Finale and Sibelius. If you have Sibelius as well as Finale, you can use the Dolet 3 for Sibelius plug-in yourself. Otherwise, the person with the Sibelius file will need to be the one to use

I am trying to finish a jazz chart, but am having major problems in making a condensed score. The full score is already finished, and I am making a condensed score at the music director's request. This particular chart is a clarinet solo feature (a la Pete Fountain), and therefore the solo

Hi Patrick, I'm not sure what all needs to be done for your condensed score. Seems it might help if you tried doing a 'save as' of the complete score and move/combine things as needed for your new file. At least the solo would be in place, and if the full score plays back, chances are this new
