Script to convert Sibelius-style fingering text to Dorico fingerings (via MusicXML)

I’ve been importing piano scores from Sibelius into Dorico and ran into the issue that fingerings exported via MusicXML often come through as plain text directions rather than proper fingering items.

I came up with a script that post-processes a Sibelius MusicXML file and converts these text fingerings into the correct fingering tag for Dorico. Sharing it here in case it’s useful to others.

Thanks very much,

That’s really useful.
