I think you have to explicitly save as ETF, and I guess this function is only available in a less free version. (Do keep in mind that Finale Notepad is free as in beer, not as in speech.) Furthermore, I'm not sure how well-maintained etf2ly is. I've only used it once, years ago, with moderate success. I seem to remember having to modify the script slightly for it to work with the given input. I've only tried Finale Notepad on Mac OSX myself, and I wasn't impressed. It was probably worth what I paid for it, in contrast to Lilypond which is worth a lot more than the same price (0).
