kind regards

I've been reading everything related to the Finale-Dorico transition. but I don't quite understand what the transition will be like, because it's from Finale V27

I have two questions

1.- By purchasing the version of Dorico that you promote on Make Music: https://store.makemusic.com/Store/?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_10909661

"I will then receive the Finale V 27 version," to properly transfer files (there are thousands of them)

 

2.-By authorizing finale on my machines, will this authorization be possible if I buy a latest generation machine once you leave the market?

Hi Diego - its all a bit scary I know. I will try and answer, having just gone through this process myself:

1. You will get Finale 27 when you purchase Dorico. This is because Finale v 27 has the best export to XML software in it. You can then use exported files to import into Doricao...I've found it does is pretty well, but obviously there will be a few twesks. Just means that all my old Finale files are now archived as XML in case I ever need to edit them in Dorico in the future. 

In order to export lots of files (in your case thousands) put the Finale files (or batches of them) into folders, name the folder{s). You can then open one Finale file and export using export - scroll down the list and find 'translate folder to xml', a window comes up for you to find the folder, and it will convert every file in that folder to separate xml files. There are posts about this somewhere to show you any other settings you need but I think this is it....So first, before exporting set up your preferences on the export menu.

 

"2.-By authorizing finale on my machines, will this authorization be possible if I buy a latest generation machine once you leave the market?"

Finale have said you will be able to now use your authorised Finale on new machines (as long as Finale specs are able to be used - probably in 10 years may not work, who knows)!

Hope this helps

Uncheck the Validate box. I don’t believe that server is active anymore. There are old threads on this.
