25: File formats which Sibelius imports

Sibelius 5 can import files from:

  • Finale, Allegro & PrintMusic: For Finale 98/2000 files, Sibelius can directly open .mus files; For Finale 2001 or later, Sibelius can only open .etf files. For Finale 2004 or later, we recommend that you export a MusicXML file from Finale and import that into Sibelius.
  • MusicXML: supported by a number of notation and scanning programs, including Finale and Sharpeye
  • SCORE
  • Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7 for Acorn: version 3.01 or higher of Sibelius 7, Sibelius 7 Student, Sibelius 6 and Junior Sibelius
  • Standard MIDI files: type 0 and 1.
  • PhotoScore .opt
