Re: Re: [Finale] Sibelius v4

Thank you.  The XML files ported over well.  Not perfect, but reasonably well.  
Just have to tweek some things here and there, such as octaves etc, but it's 
manageable.  

I still need to do more writing in it to see if it's worth the bother to change.

Is there a Sibelius list somewhere

 Try exporting them as MusicXML and then import into Sibelius as MusicXML.
 
 To do this efficiently you may need to invest in the Dolet plugins for 
 both Sibelius and Finale (Michael Goode is better equipped to advise you 
 on this).
 
 On the other hand, if your files still work fine in Finale, there's no 
 need to convert them -- keep Finale on your machine and also install 
 Sibelius.
 
 But if you want all your Finale files converted, you're right that it 
 will be a major bother.
