One alternative is to switch to 2.7.28 and use the new MusicXML import (which 
of course only works if your ETF-compatible software supports XML export).

The MusicXML import is generally better supported than ETF in the 2.7 series.

If you still want to use 2.6 for its stability, then you can use only the XML 
import from 2.7, and switch to 2.6 for post-editing/typesetting the score; 
the file format should be more-or-less backward compatible.
