Title: Finale Notepad for Mac problem
Post by: legoenthusiast on October 29, 2020, 12:32:57 AM: I want to submit an arrangement, but I need Finale Notepad for the .mus file. However, I can only find a payed version for Mac. I don't want to pay for it since I really have no use for it other than to get the .mus file, so I'm not sure what I should do.

I believe you could save your file as a MusicXML, link it, and ask someone to convert it into a MUS file.

Also, can just changing the file's tag from .mxl to .mus work?

Post by: Khunjund on October 29, 2020, 01:08:36 AM: You are limited to two active submissions at a time, so it shouldn’t be too much work; the file will only need to be converted once it’s finished and ready to be accepted, anyway.

Unfortunately, simply changing the file extension will not work.

I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this here, but…
You're not. Sorry.
