2.0 BETA

This is a beta release of the Sibelius to MEI plugin version 2.0. There may be some rough edges.

Note: This plugin will generate MEI 3.0.0-compatible files. If you wish to validate it, you should download the .rng file attached to the release.

It will also generate non-valid MEI files if you use the bracketed line, as currently the <line> element does not accept some attributes that would be handy for recording placement.

To install this plugin, download the sibmei-2.0.0-beta.zip file, unzip it, and copy the folder containing the .plg files to the Sibelius Plugin directory on your machine. The specific location depends on your OS and version of Sibelius.
