In this video, I’ll guide you through the process of converting all your Finale files across your entire system into compatible MusicXML files with just one click. These MusicXML files can be easily opened in Dorico, Sibelius, MuseScore, or any other notation software. This method ensures that your valuable work from the past 35 years remains accessible and preserved for the future.
On August 26, 2024, MakeMusic announced that they will no longer support, update, or maintain Finale notation software, marking the end of an era after 35 years. This sudden shift leaves music and publishing companies in a race to archive and manage their extensive collections of Finale templates and files. #musicnotation #xmlfile #finalenotation
