The viv file extension was used for notation scores in the old Vivaldi Studio music notation software. The files belong to that program's score format rather than to a general-purpose audio format.
Vivaldi Studio and the viv file format are obsolete. Modern notation applications are not known to support this format directly.
Open a viv file with the original Vivaldi Studio software, if it is still available on a compatible system. No other reliable software is known to open Vivaldi Studio music notation files.
If the original program is unavailable, the file may not be usable without first obtaining a compatible copy of that software.
No reliable converter for the viv file format is known. If the file opens in Vivaldi Studio, use any export or printing features provided by that program to recreate the score in another application.
