Re: Converting lilypond to music xml

Yes, you can import MIDI into Finale but as Dominic notes, it doesn't 
have enough information embedded to get good results.  Even very simple 
pieces are so badly messed up that it would be easier simply to enter 
all the notes again than try to fix the MIDI import.  At least this has 
been my experience trying to import MIDI into Finale.
