Dolet 4 for Sibelius Version History

Changes to Dolet 4 for Sibelius: most recent first

Changes 4.1 to 4.2 (May 21, 2009)

Sibelius 6 is now supported.
Export of double-note tremolos is now more reliable.
Cue-size noteheads within a normal size chord are now exported.

Changes 4.0 to 4.1 (December 15, 2008)

Cue-size text, chord, and line objects no longer cause the exported MusicXML file to be invalid.
More versions of the b9b13 chord symbol are now exported.
Dolet 4 for Sibelius now reports when Sibelius 5 encounters a rare problem in writing out some lines of a MusicXML file, including the lines that are missing from the file. This is caused by a problem in Sibelius 5, and we have been advised that reporting the problem is the best that plug-ins can currently do in this situation.

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.

Chord symbol diagrams (requires Sibelius 5.2)
Guitar tablature staff tuning
Double-note tremolos
Sibelius's built-in metric modulations, including swing tempo indications

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

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.
