Dolet® 4 for Finale

Dolet 4 for Finale is a Finale plug-in that reads and writes MusicXML 2.0 files. It works with Finale 2000 to 2009 on Windows and Finale 2004 to 2009 on Mac OS X. Use Dolet to:

  • Import music scanned with SharpEye Music Reader or capella-scan into Finale
  • Exchange music with Sibelius users. Sibelius 4 and 5 can read MusicXML files created by Dolet 4 for Finale, and Dolet 4 for Finale can read MusicXML files created by our Dolet 4 for Sibelius plug-in.
  • Read files created by capella professional, Notation Composer, and other programs (requires third party software).
  • Write files that can be used by musicRAIN, MuseBook Score, capella playAlong, SCORE, and other programs  (requires third party software).
  • Exchange music created in later versions of Finale with users of earlier versions of Finale: back to Finale 2000 on Windows or Finale 2004 on Mac OS X.

This translator is a plug-in for the Finale notation program. To use it, you must have a supported version of Finale installed on your system. Intel-based Macintoshes require Finale 2007 through 2009 as Dolet 4 will not run under Rosetta. Mac OS 9 is not supported.

Dolet software comes with a 30-day free trial under the terms of Recordare's software license agreement. To continue using Dolet past the 30-day trial, purchase it at the Recordare Online Store.

More information about installing and using Dolet 4 for Finale is available in the readme files for Windows and Mac OS X. The version history lets you know what issues have been addressed in each version of Dolet for Finale. Purchase it at the Recordare Online Store.

Dolet 4 for Sibelius

Dolet 4 for Sibelius is a plug-in for Sibelius 5. Dolet saves Sibelius 5 files in MusicXML 2.0 format. For people using Sibelius 2.1, 3.1, and 4, Dolet 1 for Sibelius is a plug-in that saves Sibelius files in MusicXML 1.0 format. Both versions work on Windows and Mac. Use Dolet to:

  • Share music you have created in Sibelius with people who use Finale, Notion, and other programs that support the MusicXML format.
  • Archive your Sibelius work into an open, text-based format that can be read by all sorts of programs - including the text editor on your computer.

These translators are plug-ins for the Sibelius notation program. To use it, you must have the correct version of Sibelius installed on your system.

Due to limits on Sibelius plug-ins, Dolet for Sibelius is not available in try-before-you-buy downloads, but a video demonstration is available. Please visit our Recordare Online Store to purchase a copy. More information about installing and using Dolet 4 for Sibelius is available in the V4 readme file.
