Convert Text Style from Fingering Text to Staff Text

• Mar 8, 2024 - 23:14

Is there any way or plugin that lets me convert Fingering Text Style to Staff Text style?
I want to export XML to Sibelius and I found that the Staff Text is properly exported.
So my idea is to convert all fingerings (already typed) to staff text style to be able to open it in Sibelius.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Axel

Can you code? If so look at my plugin:
https://musescore.org/en/project/convert-staff-text-fingerings
It does the reverse...

I no, I cannot code! I also tried to run your plugin but it removed all the fingering already written. =(
Is it that difficult to make it work backward?

I'll have a stab at it but I need to know: are you on MU4 or MU3.6?
If on 3.6 post a fragment of a typical score (is this piano, guitar?)
If on 4.x export a fragment of a typical score to MusicXml and post that (I'm not on MU4 and cannot read MU4 files)

Here is a prototype plugin & a test file. Is that what you want?

It worked! Thank you so much!
I think this is the best way to take fingerings to Sibelius. By using this plugin and converting Fingering text to Staff Text, and then in Sibelius, use the Swap text Plugin and convert Technique text to Fingering text.
The only missing thing is the position of the numbers in the chords, they get a little messy when you have different notes in the same beat.
Thank you so much!
