Hi Everyone, Thanks for all your ideas! Jacques, I appreciate you trying conversion in Mac OSX, though it looks like you got the same result as me with those error messages complaining about having too many children or something. I don't think anything's wrong with my Sibelius files, but maybe Si

Re: Sibelius 7 to LilyPond Conversion!
