[MEI-L] Sibelius MEI Plugin 1.0 Released

[Andrew Hankinson]

I’m pleased to announce the release of SibMEI 1.0, a Sibelius to MEI plugin. Currently it only exports to MEI from Sibelius (no import). Special thanks to Micah Walter for his work on it this summer.

You can download it from the GitHub “Releases” page: https://github.com/DuChemin/sibmei/releases

To install:

— Download the plugin (either .zip or .tar.gz)
— Quit Sibelius if you have it open
— Place the “sibmei” folder in your Sibelius plugins folder. See this page for help on how to find this folder on your system: http://www.sibelius.com/download/plugins/index.html?help=install
— Restart Sibelius. The plugin should be available in your Plugins drop down bar.

To use, simply choose “Export to MEI” from your plugins list.

If you find any bugs, please help out by filing an issue on the GitHub Bug Tracker: https://github.com/DuChemin/sibmei/issues.

The development of this plugin was supported by two organizations:

— The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) sponsored the initial development through a visiting research position at the University of Virginia;

— The DuChemin Project, led by Richard Freedman at Haverford College and funded by grants from the NEH and Haverford College, sponsored further development in the summer of 2013.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
