Just look at the last three characters of the message title.As the thread starter I can say that I didn't get a contract to publish a piece for a major publishing house because I couldn't provide a Finale file. They weren't willing to either use a Lilypond file or pay for someone to newly typeset it. And I wasn't willing either because I think: It is bad enough that they (can) expect an editor to do the typesetting also, to let him even pay for the typesetting is just too much :-(
Besides of that, I absolutely agree with your opinion ... Best Urs Am 04.06.2011 17:18, schrieb Nils:
Why would anyone try to convert something from Lilypond to Finale? It like converting a high-res HDR picture to a 16 color gif.

Look at the pdf from lilypond, and start clicking away.But are there solutions that could transfer more information more reliably to a finale file.No. ... oh wait, I think I've heard of some kind of sheet music scanning ability in finale or sibelius or the like? If you have that, you could try printing the music, then scanning it in.
