Yes, and another way to think about this is to realize that
beginning instrumentalists do not first learn to identify, label and
play "notes," but "fingerings." They learn, in other words, a
tablature that applies to their instrument, with each line or space

To be honest, it all depends. If it is a passage which suddenly jumps to a
very high note, ledger lines can be a real obstacle, in finding out whether
it is an e4 or g4 or whatever.
But a change to 8va in the middle of a high passage regularly throws me.

Recordare has an xml plug-in for sibelius just like the xml plug-in for

You get a lot more data than you would using midi file transfer.
