Yes. First you must convert the Finale 2002 file to a Finale version
that supports exporting to a .xml version (Finale 2007 or thereabouts)
and then from there it is usually easy to convert the .xml file to .ly
using xml2ly.

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.

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.
