Dolet was a famous French translator of the 16th-century. Our Dolet® software is also a translator, but this time between more than 100 music programs that previously could only talk to each other using MIDI files.
Dolet 5 for Finale is a plug-in for the Finale music notation program that reads and writes MusicXML 2.0 files on Windows and Mac OS X. It provides more accurate and faster translations than Finale's built-in MusicXML support.
Dolet 5 for Finale is designed to work together with our Dolet 5 for Sibelius plug-in to give the most accurate transfers ever from Sibelius to Finale. When going the other way, from Finale to Sibelius, MusicXML files are now the only way to import Finale files into Sibelius 6. Exporting with Dolet 5 for Finale gets you the best results possible.
Even if you are using Finale 2010b, Dolet 5 has many advantages:
- Better file exchange with Sibelius. Dolet 5 for Finale adds support for importing feathered beams, text in glissando lines, credits on blank pages, engraved vs. handwritten music fonts, and German/ Scandinavian chord styles. It improves support for importing jazz articulations and optimized systems. Dolet 5 also exports locked system formatting more accurately than Finale 2010, giving more reliable conversion of page layout.
- Improved MusicXML 2.0 support. Dolet 5 for Finale adds support for real accidentals in staff and group names, and per-part measure numbering (no numbers, numbers every system, or numbers every measure).
- Broadway Copyist font family support. Dolet 5 for Finale adds support for the Broadway Copyist font family, instead of treating it as a generic music font.
- More formatting control. Dolet 5 for Finale lets you import a MusicXML file into an empty document with your own specific template settings. The MusicXML import will then respect the formatting settings in your empty document as much as possible. Finale 2010 always opens a new document, so you always getting the formatting from your default Finale file.
- Full batch translation. Dolet 5 lets you translate an entire folder of MusicXML files into Finale files, or an entire folder of Finale files into MusicXML files. If you have a lot of files to transfer, this is an enormous time saver. Batch translation requires Finale 2004 or later and is not included in the 10-day free trial.
- MusicXML XSD schema support. Dolet 5 for Finale includes an option to validate against the MusicXML XSD schema definition. This is a stricter definition of the MusicXML 2.0 format, and will catch more errors during validation than the original MusicXML 2.0 Document Type Definition.
- Open Score Format support. Dolet 5 for Finale includes an option to read and write Open Score Format files.
- Works with more versions of Finale. Dolet 5 works with Finale 2000 to 2010 on Windows, Finale 2007 to 2010 on Intel Macs, and Finale 2004 to 2010 on Power PC Macs running OS X.
- More frequent updates. Dolet 5 includes regular maintenance updates to keep making translations ever more accurate. Our previous Dolet 4 release had nine maintenance updates. Finale releases typically have one or two maintenance updates. Check out the changes in our full Dolet 5 release.

I am a professional music copyist and must deal with composers of different platforms, programs, and versions all of the time. Your product is a godsend. Many thanks!

I absolutely LOVE your software! It's an indispensable tool that I could not live without. I compose/orchestrate for films and Dolet provides me with by far the most efficient way to get music from a Cubase sequencer file into Finale.
