File/MusicXML

Choose Import to open a MusicXML file. See Import MusicXML. Choose Export to save a Finale document in MusicXML format. MusicXML files can be opened in other music programs as well as earlier versions of Finale. See Export MusicXML.

Note: Finale can open and export compressed MusicXML 2.0 files (.mxl).

Updates to MusicXML in Finale 2009 include:

• Graphics are now exported, and imported graphics are now embedded rather than linked. Embedded graphics are exported when saving to a compressed MusicXML 2.0 file. Linked graphics are exported when saving to either a compressed or uncompressed MusicXML 2.0 file.
• Two-note tremolos created by Easy Tremolos and TGTools are now exported, and two-note tremolos are now imported in a similar style to how Easy Tremolos work.
• Swing tempo metronome marks are supported, using the shape expression that is part of the standard default documents.
• Font support is improved, included support for the November, ChordSuf, and Toccata third-party fonts.
• Blank pages and page breaks are now imported.
• Word extension import has been improved to keep some extraneous smart word extensions from appearing after import.
• Files created on Windows now export their text more accurately on Mac, and vice versa.
