Hi all,

Bit of a long shot; I've searched the internet for a solution, but to no avail.

I have been sent some Capella files, and I need to find a way of importing them into Finale. Any suggestions, please?

Thanks in advance.

Did you see the Capella website? It saves as Music XML, so there you go. That is, if you or the other person have the software. Maybe a kind person who has Capella could help with the conversion.

Yes, I checked the website, but I don't have the software, nor does the person who sent the files; they downloaded them from somewhere on the web.

There is a trial version, but the website says saving is disabled, so I would assume exporting as xml is also not going to function.

The third option sounds good, if that's the only way ...

Maybe try the Music Engraving Tips Facebook page or the Finale Powerusers Facebook. I think you could reach a wider audience that way.
