Place your wishlist here. Maybe the Sibelius developers will honor your requests.

It would be nice if Sibelius would make it posible for us Finale users to open Sibelius files. Are there plans to make this possible?

There is a partial solution in a program called Dollet, but it really needs to be able to get access to more of the details of Sibelius files before it really becomes useful.

Sibelius is resisting this - it doesn't WANT people to move towards Finale from Sibelius. But because Finale allows access to a greater range of functions for plug-ins, Finale will soon be able to do a number of things Sibelius can't.

It is more likely (though not much more likely as things stand) that Sibelius will move towards a similar opennes for plug-in writers, and then someone will inevitably write a better Sibelius-to-Finale program.
