From Vivaldi Gold to musescore
Hi is it possible to translate Vivaldigold SP3 files into an other format or does anyone know how to create from a SP3file into any other musicscore file, that in turm would be compatible with musescore? (other than midi.)
It seems that vivaldi is out of buisness - so maybe some of you might have the skill and contacts that would make Vivaldi SP3 files accessible for musescore or other programs?
you may also respond to me on: allison-vs@sunrise.ch
Thank you for an respose

MIDI is definitely not a good solution indeed. There are a couple of ways to go.
The standard format for music notation interchange is MusicXML. It seems that Vivaldi can't export to MusicXML. So back to square one.
First, if there is a big corpus of files, one may want to reverse engineer the SP3 format and make a SP3 to MusicXML converter. I doubt the corpus is big since it's the first time I heard about this software :) but I might be wrong.
Another way, if Vivaldi can export to PDF is to use PDFToMusic Pro. This software is specifically designed to make a MusicXML file out of a PDF *generated* from a music notation software. It will not work on a scan or an image but can work remarkably well on PDF generated from a music notation software. PDFToMusic Pro is not free but you can get a free trial online.

I tried this but my Vivaldi programm gets stuck creating the pdf - some inernal error :) Maybe it'll work an other time. Thank you.
Funny the the sister of Vivaldi gold is Vivaldi scan. There you can export XML.... but the scan is only good one voice at a time (really good!) So maybe i'll have to scan voice by voice (18 Voices 189 mesures). It'll keep me buisy for a while.
Are you sure Vivaldi has gone the way of all flesh?
I've just looked at the website and they appear to be still selling the software and scores.

It seems they still sell but since a year or so they don't respond to me for support or only automated.
Maybe they've stopped developing the software but someone appears to be updating their web page as it says it runs under all Windows versions except Visat and 7. I downloaded it just now and ran it on my ubuntu machine under WINE. Unfortunately the help file does say that MIDI files "are the only means of transferring data between different music programs". Do you have any pieces created by Vivaldi that you could upload for analysis? (the free download version doesn't let me Save files).

it won't let me upload sp3 files I'd have to send it to you via normal mail but no pressure...
