2013-02-08 Thread Jan Angermüller
Is MIDI export with lyrics still not possible in Finale 2012 ? At least I didn't get it to work... If so, do you have a workaround via MusicXML export and a freeware notation/midi software that can read the MusicXML file and export to midi with lyrics ? I tried it with Harmony Assistant but it
