Finale scores that use these key signatures will import with incorrect enharmonic spellingsįinale key signatures hidden on a per-bar basis are not converted Independent key signatures on different staves import as default key signatures in this case it displays a guitar frame with a 3rd, just as Finale does.įinale stem adjustment options in tab do not convertįinale TAB clef options are not supported Sibelius retains the original appearance of the guitar frame, i.e. the frame displayed in Finale for the chord D (no 3rd) includes a 3rd, despite its name. 'Native' Finale guitar frames are converted with the following limitations: if the voicing of chord suffixes is changed in Finale so that they display a different guitar frame, Sibelius will always convert the default appearance of the standard chord suffixes new chord suffixes added by the user are not converted and there may be some quirks due to Finale's limited number of supported frames, e.g. using the Seville font) are imported correctly. Guitar frames faked using guitar font characters typed into text (e.g. Grace note beaming may not always convert accurately Second individual placements of brackets are not converted (this is set globally in the Sibelius House Style > Engraving Rules dialog) Secondary beam breaks are converted to continuous secondary beams Manual horizontal barline adjustments with the Finale Measure Tool are ignored You can choose whether to convert them to Sibelius native bar numbers or to Sibelius text in the Options dialog when you open a file converting to text allows more Finale options to work correctly, but may make the score harder to edit The following Finale articulations are omitted (some of these are not normally notated as articulations anyway): trill extension, trill, broken chord, double slash, grace note, diamond, brackets, tenuto + accent (as a single articulation)Īrticulations input using the Finale Expression tool are not importedĪrticulations that convert to standard Sibelius articulations (accents, tenuto, staccato, etc.) are placed at Sibelius's default position In some obscure situations involving tied notes in multiple voices, or notes tied to nothing, an accidental may be wrongly converted This is easily fixed by using Edit > Filter > Lyrics and changing the point size in the Text panel of the Properties window. Editing the point size of the Lyrics text style is not reflected in lyrics already inputted in the score.This is easily fixed by using Edit > Filter > Slurs over the entire score and then doing Layout > Reset Position. This is easily fixed by creating a new piano instrument in your score and copying the music across from the existing piano staves. Cross-staff beaming on piano staves won't work.This is because Sibelius converts these as page-aligned text to change this you have to delete the text and recreate it. You can't drag system text objects (such as titles) to change their position.The following specific problems are not listed in the table of limitations below: 276: Opening Finale files - file conversion limitationsįor information on how to convert Finale files, see the Opening Finale, Allegro and PrintMusic files topic in your User Guide.
