Re: LilyPond to Finale :-(

[Urs Liska]

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 typeset it. And I wasn't willing either because I 
think: It is bad enough that they (can) expect an editor to do the 
typesetting also, to let him even pay for the typesetting is just too 
much :-(

Besides of that, I absolutely agree with your opinion ...

Best
