Recordare Adds MusicXML Export to Sibelius

LOS ALTOS, CALIFORNIA (April 15, 2003) – Recordare LLC, an Internet music software and publishing company, has released a beta version of its Dolet for Sibelius software. Dolet for Sibelius is a Sibelius 2.1 plug-in for exporting files to the MusicXML format. Sibelius users on both Windows and Macintosh can now share their music with people using Finale, Igor Engraver, and many other programs that can read MusicXML files.

Recordare's Dolet software provides "universal translators" between music notation programs. Dolet for Sibelius is the second member of this product family. The newly released Dolet for Finale 1.1 plug-in provides highly accurate exchange of music notation to and from Finale, now including support for percussion notation. Both of the Dolet plug-ins support MusicXML 0.7, the latest release of the MusicXML standard for digital sheet music.

"Dolet for Sibelius is another major step in MusicXML’s development as a truly universal format for music notation programs," stated Michael Good, CEO of Recordare LLC. "Sibelius 2.1 users can now share their music not only with Finale users, but with Sibelius 1.4 users as well. We are also pleased to expand our MusicXML software to the Macintosh, and look forward to having Dolet for Finale available on the Macintosh later this year."

MusicXML is supported by over a dozen different programs running on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux systems. In addition to Sibelius 2.1, the past few months have seen MusicXML support added to many music software packages. These include Igor Engraver 1.7, MusicEase 8.1, Virtual Composer 3.4, BarFly 1.3, the Java Music Specification Language (JMSL), and MuseBook Score. These programs join such early adopters as Finale, SharpEye Music Reader, Project XEMO, Middle C, and TaBazar. This combined support makes MusicXML far and away the most widely adopted music notation format since MIDI.
