Re: Finale's Last Stand

This is really a tech support matter rather than anything of general interest to the W3C community group, Paul. I’ll contact you directly for more information.

Hello PMN Group, I'm switching from Finale to Dorico 5, which I just bought yesterday. When I tried to export my Finale piano scores into music.xml, only the treble clef converted, and the bass clef was left empty. I contacted tech support at Makemusic and found out that there’s not much that they can do about problem conversions.
There are a lot of people who will be moving on to other platforms from Finale, and I expect many of them will be bumping into the same problem. Is this an issue that you folks have discussed, and are you doing anything to help make this conversion an easier process? Thanks, Paul
