An acquaintance of mine needs to import percussion parts from Sibelius using Music XML and he is having trouble (as described below). Does anyone have any suggestions?
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Donald Oliver <d...@taradoproductions.com> Date: Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 4:46 PM Subject: question To: Robert Patterson <rob...@robertgpatterson.com> Hi Robert, I'm in a big mess at the moment. The new musical supervisor of the international productions of "The Lion King" insists on doing new, fully notated drum parts in Sibelius and then sending me an xml file that I'm supposed to import into Finale. When I do this, the part looks perfect in Sibelius, but when the xml drum line appears in Finale all the pitches (instruments) in both the upper and lower voices are on the same line (the bottom staff line). Voice 1 is indeed all the stems-up notes and Voice 2 is the stem down notes (mostly bass drum). I can use the Percussion Transposition option in Finale to put the notes in the right places, but I have to do this measure by measure. If I have to do this for all the 2300 measures in "The Lion King" score, I'll go mad. Do you have any experience with this? Thanks for any help you can provide. Best, Don _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
