Re: Lilypond to Finale [Notepad]

[Jacques Menu]

Just tried :

- Finale 2014 produces something after display error messages. That can be rather good for a single basson staff (the beams are lost), but less good for two SATB examples I’ve tried: one has empty staves, and the other one needs some clean up;

- Sibelius 7.1.3 uniformly produces a blank page, without error messages showing up in dialogs.

Well, you should at least try how far Frescobaldi's MusicXML export will bring you.

Hello all!

Well, it finally happened… I got a commission for an arrangement with the following restriction:

"The music should be engraved using either Sibelius or Finale music engraving program. Please submit the engraved arrangements as open files and also as PDF-files.”

I’ve already asked the commissioner/publisher, and this term is non-negotiable. The commission fee is sufficient to do the arrangement, but not generous enough for me to [in addition] hire someone to engrave it in Finale or Sibelius. And I’m certainly not going to invest a lot of time (or *any* money!!) in Finale or Sibelius.

So before I give my final answer to this commissioner, I want to know if anyone has had experience with converting a relatively simple Lilypond score (SATB + piano) to the free Notepad version of Finale [p.s. Is there a Sibelius equivalent?] — via MusicXML, I’m assuming — and from there into the full version (which
the commissioner/publisher will eventually have to do).

If it’s 1 hour or less from a finished Lilypond score to having a “converted” file to send, then I’ll consider it; otherwise, it’s not worth my time taking this commission.

Thanks,
Kieren.
