MuseScore File to Sibelius
I was wondering if there was a way to transfer a MuseScore file from MS 4 into Sibelius. I exported the file as a MXL file but it did not work.
Any other ways?

But MusicXML is the way.
If Sibelius cannot read the compressed MXL format, why not try an uncompressed format?

My 7.5.1 Sibelius can only open uncompressed xml from MuseScore.
I too tried to open a Musescore 4.4.3.... uncompressed XML file in Sibelius. My Sibelius Ultimate, 2019.12, created the message attached in the screenshot.
That said, a Sibelius XML opens fine in Musescore.
I tried an Musescore exported midi file and that worked in Sibelius, but it was quite messy.
Maybe a future update will resolve this, unless someone know how to fix it now.
All the best,
Rob

I read that Sibelius exports XML 4, so I assume it will import one.

What does MuseScore 3 say on importing that file?
MuseScore 4 unfortunately doesn't validate against the schema anymore

Musicxml v4.0 was only released in 2021.
Your 5 years old Sibelius Ultimate 2019.12 cannot know about Musicxml v4.0.
Probably you should upgrade to a newer Sibelius version. (or ditch Sibelius - evidently)

I am sorry.

Probably this is a stupid question, but can the Dolet plugin be used to import musicxml?
