Slurs created as Finale Shape Expressions are not imported Values specified by the Finale function Avoid Staff Line by at Least X amount are ignored

Lines that begin and end on different staves are omittedįlipped stem directions can cause slurs to be incorrectly positioned The positioning of trill extensions is not always accurately imported Lines designed using the Finale Shape Designer are not imported Margins are adjusted to avoid spilling off the pageįinale's horizontal note spacing is ignored Sibelius's default spacing rules (which are often better) are used insteadįinale systems that overlap vertically will import as two separate systems with 0 separation

Finale scores that use these key signatures will import with incorrect enharmonic spellingsįinale key signatures hidden on a per-bar basis are not converted Independent key signatures on different staves import as default key signatures in this case it displays a guitar frame with a 3rd, just as Finale does.įinale stem adjustment options in tab do not convertįinale TAB clef options are not supported Sibelius retains the original appearance of the guitar frame, i.e. the frame displayed in Finale for the chord D (no 3rd) includes a 3rd, despite its name.

'Native' Finale guitar frames are converted with the following limitations: if the voicing of chord suffixes is changed in Finale so that they display a different guitar frame, Sibelius will always convert the default appearance of the standard chord suffixes new chord suffixes added by the user are not converted and there may be some quirks due to Finale's limited number of supported frames, e.g. using the Seville font) are imported correctly. Guitar frames faked using guitar font characters typed into text (e.g. Grace note beaming may not always convert accurately Second individual placements of brackets are not converted (this is set globally in the Sibelius House Style > Engraving Rules dialog) Secondary beam breaks are converted to continuous secondary beams

Manual horizontal barline adjustments with the Finale Measure Tool are ignored You can choose whether to convert them to Sibelius native bar numbers or to Sibelius text in the Options dialog when you open a file converting to text allows more Finale options to work correctly, but may make the score harder to edit The following Finale articulations are omitted (some of these are not normally notated as articulations anyway): trill extension, trill, broken chord, double slash, grace note, diamond, brackets, tenuto + accent (as a single articulation)Īrticulations input using the Finale Expression tool are not importedĪrticulations that convert to standard Sibelius articulations (accents, tenuto, staccato, etc.) are placed at Sibelius's default position In some obscure situations involving tied notes in multiple voices, or notes tied to nothing, an accidental may be wrongly converted This is easily fixed by using Edit > Filter > Lyrics and changing the point size in the Text panel of the Properties window. Editing the point size of the Lyrics text style is not reflected in lyrics already inputted in the score.Filter > Slurs over the entire score and then doing Layout > Reset Position.
