Hello Cherry, Bill.

Somwhere in my dusty mind I can remember that its indeed discussed,
and Mark has in future developments planned to include
the .XML import function. This also would solve the problem
to export Finale files to XML and then import in Composer much better. May be Mark can comment on his priority for this function.

The advantage then should be that all kind of free text in the
Finale arrangement etc is exported also via XML and imported into Composer.

If there is no or few notes in the Finale arrangement, exporting via Midi and importing in Composer is certainly fine and can be done now. The only thing is that after importing in Composer you have to improve the layout a little at your own taste, but thats very easy in Composer.

Cheers Jaap
