Recordare Releases Dolet 3 for Finale

LOS ALTOS, CALIFORNIA (August 11, 2005) – Recordare LLC, an Internet music software and publishing company, 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 highest-fidelity translation available 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 many other programs that support the MusicXML format.

“Dolet 3 for Finale sets a new standard for high-fidelity exchange of music notation files,” stated Michael Good, CEO of Recordare LLC and the inventor of the MusicXML format. “The formatting and batch features in Dolet 3 have long been requested by our customers. We expect the release of Dolet 3 to speed the adoption of MusicXML 1.1 throughout the music software industry.”

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

This combined support makes MusicXML far and away the most widely adopted music notation format since MIDI.

Dolet 3 for Finale is available for US $119.95 direct from Recordare at:

Upgrades from Dolet for Finale 1.5 and 2.0 are available for US $69.95 and $49.95 respectively.
