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.

The Dolet software is also a translator, but this time between more than 125 music programs that previously could only talk to each other using MIDI files.

Even if you are using Finale 2011, 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 2011, giving more reliable conversion of page layout.

- 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 2011 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 2011 on Windows, Finale 2007 to 2011 on Intel Macs, and Finale 2004 to 2011 on Power PC Macs running OS X.

- More frequent updates. Dolet 5 includes regular maintenance updates to keep making translations ever more accurate."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
