What is the word with Musescore scores and Dorico?

Most EULAs explicitly forbid reverse engineering. But even assuming that the company lawyers are happy with the risk, that’s still only the first obstacle.

This from Michael Good, the creator of XML:

MusicXML files actually contain more engraving details than Finale files. A lot of how Finale displays music is determined by the program, not saved in the file. MusicXML files save all this information that Finale files don’t contain.

So not only would building a Finale converter be a huge amount of work, it would be a complete waste of time. It would make conversions worse, not better.
