Recordare Releases Dolet 3 for Finale
August 14, 2005
Recordare has released version 3 of its Dolet
plug-in for the Finale music notation program. Dolet 3 for Finale reads
and writes MusicXML 1.1 files for the translation
between music notation programs. Dolet 3 also includes batch
translation features to automate the process of moving music notation
files from one program to another. Dolet 3 supports Finale 2000 to 2006
on Windows and Finale 2004 to 2006 on Macintosh OS X.
Recordare's Dolet plug-ins serve as "universal translators" between
music notation programs. While Finale 2006 and Sibelius 4 both read
MusicXML 1.1 files, Dolet 3 for Finale is the first program that can
write MusicXML files that include the new 1.1 formatting features. This
provides better file transfer between Finale, Sibelius, and the
other programs that support the MusicXML format.
The MusicXML format works with over 40 different programs running on
Windows, Macintosh, and Linux systems, including:
- Notation programs such as Finale 2006 and Sibelius 4
- Scanning programs such as SharpEye Music Reader and PhotoScore Professional
- Electronic music stands for organ and piano
- Sequencers
- Algorithmic composition programs
- Programs to create play-along CDs
- Tablature editors
Dolet 3 for Finale is available for US $119.95 direct from Recordare. Upgrades from Dolet for Finale 1.5 and 2.0 are available for US $69.95
and $49.95 respectively.
