Hi Linda, The latest version of Encore does import musicXML files. It's not as developed as the MusicXML built into Finale and Sibelius. It will not import lyrics, chords symbols and many other elements. But it will give you notes and I believe articulations and some text much better than a MIDI file.
I've had some Encore files come through with rhythmic problems Best, John John Hinchey Nashville Tennessee Phone: 615-397-3675 Website: Hinchey Music Services http://www.hincheymusic.com/ Blog: "Notes On Notes" http://johnhinchey.com/ Twitter: @hincheymusic http://twitter.com/hincheymusic _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
