Hi Andrew, This reply is not about Photoscore. But there is maybe another "sort of hacky solution", which works for Finale and maybe also works in Sibelius. (I don't have Sibelius);
The midi-files I generate with LilyPond are opened, by default, in Finale and as a bonus one gets the complete but unadorned score in Finale. Just the notes. No lyrics, exporessive marks, ties yes but no slurs etc. One other caveat: Finale does not recognize partial measures so you have to make a copy with only full measures. Just a suggestion.
