Please Advise: Converting Finale 2011 file to Finale 2014 file?

Hi everyone! I'm currently having an issue importing a Finale file into Pro Tools 11. PT11 doesn't allow you to import Finale 2011 files, and Finale 2014 does not allow me to open Finale 2011 files. Unfortunately I do not have access to Finale 2012 or 2013. Does anyone know of a way to convert a Finale 2011 file directly to a Finale 2014 file? I Googled it and unfortunately could not find anything. Thanks in advance!

are you trying to import a.mid or smf?

.mid

well..dang those software developers. You may have to pop for a Finale 2014 upgrade. That being said: Avid support threads might be of help.

So many things to buy, haha. You know, it's strange. When I Googled the issue, the only Avid threads that came up said that I couldn't import Finale 2011 files to PT11.... they didn't really give any real solutions........

Save the file in Finale as a standard midi or general midi file. then own it in PT. You may need to use the Import function.
