Re: [Finale] Triple time (was Tuplets Default)

Hi John, I wasn't aware I was "putting down" anything. I'm talking about rhythms that even the best professionals find difficult to sight-read, because the rhythms are unusual and not downbeat-oriented. I'm talking about my own experience on how to convey those kinds of rhythms most efficiently

Kenneth: It would be helpful to know what product (PrintMusic, Allegro, Finale) and what platform (MAC / WIN) you are using. My answers assume you are using some version of Finale. I transcribed a piece to play on handbells. It was originally in 2/4 time. I'd like to change it to 4/4 time.

Bonnie, You need the Dolet for Sibelius from Recordare (www.recordare.com). You put it in the Sibelius plugin folder and can then create MusicXML files which are readable in Finale. Hope this helps! Eric * Habsburger Verlag Frankfurt (Dr. Fiedle

Your best bet is to use the Dolet 5 plugin for Sibelius. It does co$t but you can download a 10-day demo that is fully functional if you only have a few files to convert. I use the plugin all the time, but the other way: Finale to Sibelius. It's remarkably accurate. J D Thomas ThomaSt

I do not see any way to move a Sibelius file into Finale via XML. There is no option to export or save as an XML. I have Sibelius 6 but haven't worked in it and someone gave me some files created in Sibelius 3. The file opens in Sibelius but no way to export in a format that Finale can read.

Hi David, Those pieces you cite are rhythmically fairly simple, downbeat-oriented, and clear enough notated in compound meter. I was talking about music of moderate rhythmic complexity and above, where you (for instance) might have a lot of figures that imply different sub-groupings (5/8, 7/8,
