Chris,

There's a plug-in in Sib 5 called "Convert folder of scores to MIDI files". 
I think that would do it.

Subject: [midi-mag] Sibelius or midi: batch processing?


Hi folks. I have a weird request here.

The author of a book I just bought, has all the musical examples in
the book in Sibelius. The catch is that these are some 1,000 short
lines, 2-4 bars each, all in their own little individual file.

Is there a way to append them together into a single score, or midi
file?

My aim is to render them to midi and then translate into Braille
with GoodFeel, since part of the process in this guy's book
involves reading the phrases and hearing them in your head.  I'm
not looking for audio playback of the lines.

Is there a program to batch process a whole pile of files like
that? Or maybe to convert a pile of .sib files to .mid, MIDI
format, as a large batch?

Obviously, doing this by hand, one file at a time, is a crazy idea.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to automate things?

thanks,
Chris
