Earlier this month we announced that MakeMusic would be purchasing MusicXML and Dolet software from Recordare. Yesterday the agreement was completed. What's more, the Dolet software is now available – for free – at MakeMusic.com!
If you'd like to create SmartMusic accompaniments from Sibelius files, this is great news.
Why?
The Dolet software allows users of nearly any version of Sibelius to save MusicXML files. These files can then be read by Finale, where they can be saved as SmartMusic accompaniments. While Sibelius 7 included the ability to read and write music XML files, users of previous versions had to purchase the Dolet software for $199. Now it's all free, and the free software even includes improvements upon the MusicXML support found in Sibelius 7.
