Yes. First you must convert the Finale 2002 file to a Finale version

I'd like to make an arrangement of  Bach BWV 1073: Canon.
I found the Finale 2002 source files2 on the icking-music-archive.org and
would like to know if there is a way to convert them to lilypond.

Thanks for chiming in. Last time i tried to convert with musicxml2ly to convert to lilypond the result was really ugly and was likely more work than writing the piece from scratch.

This piece is a canon where the 4 instruments play the same notes but using a different key. http://erato.uvt.nl/files/imglnks/usimg/f/f7/IMSLP88821-PMLP18465-BWV_1073.pdf

I want to transpose it for 4 violins

Would anyone has a script that would allow me to transpose and generate the lilypond code for the other violins?

Example: generateAndTranspose +3 "a4 a8 b c4 c8 d ..." would generate "c4 c8 d e4 e8 f ..."

-MM





The simplest thing would be the \transpose command:

\version "2.13.61"



violinI = \relative c''

{ a4 a8 b c4 c8 d}



violinII = \transpose a c'
{\violinI}



\score {

<<

\violinI

\violinII

>>


HTH, and the Notation Reference section 1.2.1 is a good place to start, too!

i need to generate the actual lilypond notes and not just use the transpose because I'd like to be able to add fingerings.
