Assuming you have Ruby on the Mac, all that sib2ly does is
text-processing a XML file into a LilyPond file. That should not be
problematic, I guess.

You can get started with a reasonable MusicXML import project for as little as
a US $10 investment in Finale NotePad. For a MusicXML export project, just
download a free Finale demo. Recordare does not make any money from either the
sales or downloads of MakeMusic products.

Personally I would already be quite happy if Lilypond would only be able
to export the most basic information like staffs, clefs, keys, notes, and
beamings. More detailed and/or complex details I would then add manually
in the software that I use to import the exported musicxml. Even that

Hi Martin and Kirill,
Martin, MusicXML is pervasive in the music preparation business, whether it is
preparation for print music, film, or TV. It is not yet used very widely as a
consumer format for sheet music, but this is starting to change. You can see
the list of sites offering MusicXML sco
Dear community,
unfortunately, with my very old version of sibelius I can't run the plugin.

Hi Michael,
Granted, your Dolet 5 is perhaps much more advanced than the earlier
versions. I'm sure you are doing a wonderful job there, and a very
useful one too.
Hi Kirill,
This is an interesting approach to Sibelius to LilyPond conversion. However, I
do agree with Carl's earlier message. It seems that a more generally useful
approach would be to improve MusicXML to LilyPond conversion.

However, it turned out later, translation from Sibelius to LilyPond is more
of an art than engineering, since there is no one-to-one correspondence
between the teo representations of music.
