If you don’t know about MusicXML you really should! Some users still believe MIDI is the only way to share music files between applications. Now you can open this file normally in Sibelius 6 or whatever version you have chosen.įinale does not have the option to export or save as an earlier version but what it does have is MusicXML import and export.
This opens a window that allows you to choose where to save the new file. Next go to the bottom on this list and click the Export button. On this list are Sibelius 2 through 6 and all the versions of Sibelius First and Sibelius Student. Here you choose the version of Sibelius you want to export. Fifth on the list is ‘Previous Version,’ this brings up another list of File types. Go to the tab File and in the column on the left you’ll see ‘Export’ click on that and then you’ll see a list of export choices. In Sibelius 7: it’s the same procedure just in a slightly different place on the new ribbon interface.
In Sibelius 6: (and previous versions), you open the score and go to the menu File >Export>Sibelius 2,3,4,5… This opens a window that where you can select the version you’d like to export as (in the drop down menu) and choose a place to save the file. Since Sibelius 2 there has been the option to save as or ‘export’ a version of your score to a previous version of Sibelius. Sibelius, you can still play with all your old friends! But let’s start with file exchange within each platform between versions. You may have guessed by now, that you can also exchange Finale files with Sibelius users. And thanks to a new addition to Sibelius 7 you can easily exchange scores with Finale users too.Īs well, there are Finale users, who don’t realize you can share scores from later versions of Finale with earlier versions of Finale (2003 and later) and this is just as easy. You can in fact, exchange scores seamlessly.

Surprisingly, I run into many Sibelius users who are under the impression that once you upgrade to Sibelius 7 you can’t exchange scores with someone using Sibelius 6.
