Re: Lilypond to Finale [Notepad]

[Jacques Menu]

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.
