To my best knowledge, this tool is substantially more powerful than other existing Sib->Ly converters. You are welcome to try it out. The whole thing is absolutely free and open source, naturally. Written as a two-part suite: a dumb Sibelius plug-in that does nothing but dump the whole score into an .xml file, and the main part -- the interpreter -- that does the translation into .ly The interpreter is written in Ruby, packaged as a standalone .exe for convenience.
