This will (likely) be the last video in the Conquering Finale series, I have a lot to say so it’s a bit on the long side. Feel free to use the chapters to skip around as needed. There’s a lot of news and facts about the demise of Finale and then there is a very long discussion about MusicXML. What it is, how to export out of Finale and how to import it into both Sibelius and Dorico. There’s also some final words and some thank you’s to be said towards the end. Thanks to all the viewers for sticking with the series!
