As do you: the page, albeit subtly, only mentions MusicXML IMPORT, not EXPORT. <quote>MusicXML 2.0 – the latest version of the industry-standard format to transfer scores between notation engines – is fully supported in Sibelius 5.1. This includes the new compressed .mxl format, which reduces MusicXML file sizes by around 20 times. The handling of instruments and layouts from MusicXML files has also been enhanced, and more notation than ever are imported, including unpitched percussion, multirests, guitar chord diagrams, and many more.</quote> See also: http://tomrudolph.berkleemusicblogs.com/2008/05/17/sharing-files-between-finale-and-sibelius-via-musicxml/ -- Mark Knoop _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
