I've got a curly one for you tonight. ?:|

Are there any muso's around or anybody into composing? No 1 daughter has been given a floppy with music files created by Sibelius, but since Sibelius costs thousands, all we have available here is Finale, the poor man's version of Sibelius. :( We need to read/convert from Sibelius format (sib) to Finale (mus) if we can.

These are not straight music files, they are musical scores that can be printed out and/or played back during or afer composition. Any ideas as to how we can listen to them without buying Sibelius?

Cheers

Anything on this page MusicXML (www.recordare.com) (and its links) helpful/useful at all. I don't know anything about the products :(
so can't comment further.
Cheers, Babe.

Unfortunately there is a moderate cost involved so it will be a longer term solution rather than a one-off conversion download, but it gives access to Sibelius files in Finale and allows work done in Finale to be transferred to Sibelius.

What more could anybody ask. :D

Funny thing though, I searched extensively and this didn't appear for me. I'd love to know what your search terms were. ?:|

Cheers

185661 2003-10-22 09:34:00 Yes there is a trial Murray, but if I read it correctly, the module for Finale to Sibelius has a 30 day trial, but the Sibelius to Finale module does not.

Protecting the product :(

Cheers
