Hello all! Well, it finally happened… I got a commission for an arrangement with the following restriction:
"The music should be engraved using either Sibelius or Finale music engraving program. Please submit the engraved arrangements as open files and also as PDF-files.” I’ve already asked the commissioner/publisher, and this term is non-negotiable. The commission fee is sufficient to do the arrangement, but not generous enough for me to [in addition] hire someone to engrave it in Finale or Sibelius. And I’m certainly not going to invest a lot of time (or *any* money!!) in Finale or Sibelius. So before I give my final answer to this commissioner, I want to know if anyone has had experience with converting a relatively simple Lilypond score (SATB + piano) to the free Notepad version of Finale [p.s. Is there a Sibelius equivalent?] — via MusicXML, I’m assuming — and from there into the full version (which the commissioner/publisher will eventually have to do). If it’s 1 hour or less from a finished Lilypond score to having a “converted” file to send, then I’ll consider it; otherwise, it’s not worth my time taking this commission. Thanks, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
