I believe the original poster was referring to NIFF, not to MusicXML. What became of NIFF, if anything? Is MusicXML some outgrowth of NIFF? Jim

No, Finale 2006 will not import files from Encore 4.5 and later. Finale has not changed its Encore importer in years, since the base of Encore users has declined so much. Instead Finale has focusrf on ever-improving MusicXML support for file transfer needs. Since MIDI is not working, your main options are 1) print from Encore and scan into Finale, and 2) re-enter it all into Finale from scratch. Given your expertise with Finale, and that (I believe) you're working on a Mac, re-entry may work better. > And of course it was Coda's decision not to support an > industry-wide standard for filesharing that's the source > of your troubles, Linda, not Encore at all. I think you are assigning the blame unfairly here, John. Coda was the first large notation software company to adopt the MusicXML format by incorporating it into Finale. The problem with the file transfer is with Encore and GVOX, who have so far stuck with their proprietary format without providing any option for effective score interchange. If you want Encore to support MusicXML file interchange, please write GVOX and let them know. In the meantime, I wouldn't upgrade from a version that has limited file transfer capabilities to a version that has no options beyond MIDI and print/scan - unless of course you need the operating system compatibility addressed in the current version.
