Well, if you have concerns about Ninsheetmusic's policy regarding acceptance of sibelius as opposed to Finale, feel free to contact JaMaHa or another staff member.
If you prefer sibelius that much, www.apollomix.com accepts sibelius files as well as Finale files.
Hey, it’s not that I have a concern for uploading Sibelius sheet music; it’s the fact that when I translate to Finale, most of the notations are either corrupted or missing. I understand that the general population cannot afford a copy of Sibelius at the staggering price of
£113.85, which is why
JaMaHa may have opted to avoid Sibelius submissions.
However, my concern lies in the fact that there is no suitable software to convert from Sibelius to Finale notation. I have done some light research and have found that a software called “
Dolet†offers to convert such notations into a so-called “
MusicXML†file. This file can then be imported into Finale using the same plug-in. However, the price of this software is not nil and I therefore cannot convert the entirety of my Sibelius notation to Finale.
The method I am adopting at the moment is to export the arrangement to a MIDI file and then reimport the file, as necessary, into Finale. If this is sufficient to meet the Finale sheet music requirement, then when finished, I will be more than happy to submit my work to the database. I’m not too bothered otherwise as I’m sure that users who are willing to look for “Maple Treeway†will visit this thread sooner or later.
Anyways, I’d thought it might be nice if redirected people back onto the “Maple Treeway†piece as I believe we may be going slightly
off-topic? And on my part: I have been looking into how chords are determined and have been trying such “
cadencesâ€(?) in the piece.
Thanks,
James
