Converting XML files | Finale to Dorico: Conquering the Transition Episode 8, with Jason Loffredo

Transferring existing music from Finale to Dorico requires the intermediate step of exporting the Finale files to the MusicXML format and then importing those MusicXML files into Dorico. There are a few ways to do this and there are a lot of options available for how the files get imported into Dorico. This video will cover a lot of what you need to know about this as well as what converts well and what may need to be adjusted on the Dorico side. In addition, we’ll take a look at Dorico’s Library Manager which can help make the appearance of several files more consistent. 00:00 - Introduction 00:56 - MusicXML Options in Finale 03:38 - Exporting from Finale 04:12 - MusicXML Options in Dorico 06:05 - Importing into Dorico 13:05 - More Complex Files 13:44 - Titles 15:51 - Page Formatting 17:01 - Instruments 20:30 - Notes and Rhythms 22:27 - Articulations 24:02 - Text Blocks 24:39 - Percussion 25:16 - Slash/Rhythmic Notation 25:51 - One-Bar Repeats 26:18 - Irregular Meters 28:31 - MusicXML Conclusions 30:48 - Importing Into Existing Projects 33:23 - Library Manager 38:17 - Conclusion We hope you find this video entertaining and useful.
