Concert scores with octave-transposing parts such as guitar and piccolo now export correctly.

Concert scores now export transposition information, including alternate clefs for transposed parts.There will be 50 new features and fixes available in the initial beta release. Restricting to later versions of Sibelius makes it much easier to support the plug-in and make use of the latest ManuScript features. The Dolet 8 for Sibelius plug-in requires Sibelius 2019.5 or later. If accepted, you will receive information about accessing the beta versions during the week of November 29. This will let them know what type of test coverage they will be getting in terms of both Sibelius versions and applications that will be making use of the exported MusicXML files. To apply for the beta test, please fill out the application form. This should make it easier for people to transfer their music from Sibelius into SmartMusic, Finale, and other music notation apps. MakeMusic wanted to take advantage of the new features of both MusicXML 4.0 and Sibelius’s ManuScript programming language to get better MusicXML files out of Sibelius. It has been over five years since the plug-in has been updated. Original development was centered around being able to transfer Sibelius files into MakeMusic’s SmartMusic more easily, but it was soon apparent that this would be useful more generally. Over the past few months MakeMusic has been working to update their free Dolet® for Sibelius plug-in for exporting MusicXML files from Sibelius.
