Re: Import - convert

[Jakub Pavlík]

I confess having no experience with this, as LilyPond is the single application I use for musical notation.
I just shared what I found in the documentation regarding this subject.

You used to be able to.  Have you done it with a recent lilypond
version?

I think the method that's encouraged for people with recent finale and
recent lilypond is to export MusicXML from Finale and use musicxml2ly to
get to lilypond.

If you have both ancient Finale and ancient lilypond, etf2ly will work,
sort of, if you aren't very demanding about lyrics.

If you have ancient Finale and recent lilypond, I think you might be
stuck with midi2ly.
