Hello Kieren, One possibility is to scan a PDF produced by LP by PhotoScore Ultimate and then export it, either to Sibelius directly or as MusicXML first. Finale can import the same XML file too. If you can send the PDF to me, I can try and we’ll see how good the results are. JM > Le 7 oct. 2

Well, there are two issues which might be valid arguments: * They want a new edition to comply to the house's standards, i.e. it should look like any other edition from this publisher. * Additionally, the piece in question will eventually be published as part of a Complete Edition

Oh, that sounds altogether too familiar. Being as fixated on clean looking scores as I am Lilypond was the winner in my search for clarity. I recently had a similar thing happen with a publisher, the response of which it would be too much effort to make the conversion to Finale. I could have found

Just look at the last three characters of the message title. As the thread starter I can say that I didn't get a contract to publish a piece for a major publishing house because I couldn't provide a Finale file. They weren't willing to either use a Lilypond file or pay for someone to newly type

1) If you manage to open the .ly-file with MuseScore you can export to MusicXML and then import the .xml-file with Finale. 2) You could use PDFtoMusic. The software converts PDFs (no scans) to MusicXML but it's not perfect and it's commercial. You might have to edit/correct the output in Fina
