The Finale 2006 version will import MusicXML 1.1 files and export MusicXML 1.0 files. This offers the greatest compatibility with older versions of Finale, which would not be able to handle the new MusicXML 1.1 features. We've fixed the 2006 software so that compatibility problem won't occur in the future if we release a MusicXML 1.2 format. The full version of the Dolet plug-in will add MusicXML 1.1 export (with improved formatting features) and batch translation.

This is especially true for newer versions of Finale. If you have Finale 2003 or later on Windows, use Plug-ins->MusicXML Export Light... to save the MusicXML file, then read the MusicXML file into the Sibelius 4 demo. To go the other way, from Sibelius to Finale, you need our Dolet for Sibelius plug-in to save the MusicXML file from Sibelius. For older versions of Finale on Windows or Macintosh OS X, you need our Dolet for Finale plug-in to export the MusicXML file. Finale 2006 has MusicXML import and export on the File menu on both Windows and Mac.
