Converting lilypond to Sibelius

2012-08-05 Thread Warren Cohen
I have to do an arrangement of a piece that is in a lilypond file and I need to do the arrangement in Sibelius. Is there some way for Sibelius to read lilypond the way that it can read a Finale file? I don't think it could be XML compatible, but I would hope it would easier than reading a PDF.
