Opening NIFF files

Sibelius 2.1 for Windows includes a NIFF (Notation Interchange File Format) file converter. NIFF was an attempt by a number of music software companies to create a universal computer file format for notation, in much the same way as MIDI is the universal format for music playback. The format has found support in a number of smaller music notation applications, such as Sharpeye, SmartScore and Lime.
