Converting classic SmartMusic files to web-based SmartMusic Music files

Transitioning from classic SmartMusic

If you are transitioning from classic SmartMusic to web-based SmartMusic, you might have some SmartMusic Accompaniment files (.smpx and .smp files) that you've created that you would like to reuse. You can use the Convert submenu to easily convert a batch of existing SmartMusic Accompaniment files to SmartMusic Zip files (.smz files) for web-based SmartMusic.

To convert SmartMusic Accompaniment files to SmartMusic Zip files

  1. Launch Finale.
  2. Choose File > Convert > SmartMusic File or SmartMusic Folder. An Open dialog box appears.
  3. Locate the SmartMusic Accompaniment file(s) and click Open. A Save dialog box appears.
  4. If you are converting a single SmartMusic Accompaniment file, name and select a location for the SmartMusic Zip file and click Save. If you are converting a folder of SmartMusic Accompaniment files, Finale will use the original name and location for the new SmartMusic Zip files.
  5. The SmartMusic Zip files appear in your selected destination. You can now open SmartMusic and import the SmartMusic Zip files you've just saved.
