Dolet 4 for Sibelius Version History

Changes to Dolet 4 for Sibelius: most recent first

First Dolet 4 for Sibelius release 4.0 (September 3, 2008)

Dolet 4 for Sibelius writes MusicXML 2.0 files and works with Sibelius 5. Dolet 4 for Sibelius adds many new features thanks to improvements in the MusicXML 2.0 language and the Sibelius 5 plug-in interface. Dolet 4 for Sibelius now exports the following features that were not exported in version 3:

  • Chord symbol diagrams (requires Sibelius 5.2)
  • Guitar tablature staff tuning
  • Double-note tremolos
  • Sibelius's built-in metric modulations, including swing tempo indications
  • Cue-size notes
  • Multirests
  • Blank pages
  • Text on an initial blank title page
  • Measure numbers
  • Cautionary accidentals
  • Line breaks in text
  • Non-automatic tuplet formatting, such as brackets being forced to display or forced to be hidden
  • Parenthesized accidentals
  • Parenthesized notes
  • Staff lines, such as a 1-line percussion staff
  • Grace note acciaccatura / appoggiatura distinctions
  • Slides (requires Sibelius 5.1 or later; exports for single notes only, not chords)
  • Nested tuplets
  • Quarter-tone accidentals
  • Accordion registration symbols
  • Stress, unstress, and inverted turn symbols
  • Bold, italic, and underline text settings when not the house style default
  • Vertical positioning of lyrics
  • Vertical positioning of ends of lines

Dolet 4 for Sibelius has also improved export of several features from version 3:

  • Beaming is now exported more accurately.
  • Ends of ties are now exported.
  • Staff symbols and lines that fall in between notes are now exported.
  • Lyrics are exported more accurately, including multiple syllables per note.
  • Chord symbols are exported more accurately.
  • Parenthesized dynamics are exported as dynamics instead of words.
  • When the plug-in encounters something that cannot be exported, such as a user-defined symbol, it logs the problem in the MusicXML file.
