The Dolet 3 for Sibelius plug-in adds the ability to write MusicXML 1.1 files from Sibelius 4.MakeMusic Forum > Public Forums > Finale - Windows - FORUM HAS MOVED! > *.mus files from Finale NotePad fail to open. Dolet 1 for Sibelius writes MusicXML 1.0 files starting with Sibelius 2.1. Writing MusicXML files requires Recordare’s Dolet for Sibelius plug-in. Sibelius 4 reads MusicXML 1.1 files directly from the file menu. Finale 2003 to 2005 on Windows can also read and write earlier versions of MusicXML files without additional software. Dolet 3 (for Finale plug-in) allows Finale to write MusicXML 1.1 files, and supports previous Finale versions back to 2000 on Windows and 2004 on Macintosh OS X. Even with these limitations, the more complete interchange provided by MusicXML, compared to Standard MIDI Files, provides a large time savings when music files need to be transferred from Sibelius to Finale.įinale 2006 and Finale PrintMusic 2006 read MusicXML 1.1 files and write MusicXML 1.0 files directly from the file menu. Stem direction, transpositions, and beaming are among the features that still cannot be exported accurately from Sibelius. Sibelius 4 added many features to its plug-in developer kit, allowing Dolet 3 for Sibelius to export articulations, codas, segnos, system breaks, and page breaks. Sibelius’s kit provides limited access to static musical data and no access to dynamic musical data. Currently, Finale’s kit gives complete (if incompletely documented) access to Finale’s static musical data, and some access to dynamic musical data such as stem direction. These plug-ins rely on the development kits provided by those programs. Writing MusicXML 1.1 files from Finale and Sibelius currently requires Recordare’s Dolet 3 plug-ins. These versions of Finale and Sibelius read MusicXML 1.1 files on both Windows and Macintosh OS X without the need for any additional plug-ins. MusicXML 1.1 allows much more formatting information to be transferred between applications. The 2005 releases of MusicXML 1.1, Finale 2006, and Sibelius 4 have greatly improved the translation process for music preparation applications. In one recent instance wherein a show was transferred from a London West End stage to a Broadway one, the music team in London passed on its Sibelius files to Recordare for custom conversion, via MusicXML, to Finale, which was required for the Broadway production. Works prepared in either Finale or Sibelius can be exported to MusicXML and imported into the alternative program with the appropriate Dolet(s).
