Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I just remember that the big issue in all of these programs is once the note has already been entered, how easy is it to change?  In Print music, it's very cumbersone, whereas in Logic, it's very easy.  I have been doing things in Logic, converting to MIDI files and importing to Finale.  But, if anything goes wrong or needs to be fixed, it's complicated.

  In Sibelius it is pretty quick. There are keyboard shortcuts but 
  using a mouse (the longest process for many of us) you just...

  1/ Highlight the note/position you wish the tempo to start at
  2/ Mouse select Create | Text | Metronome 
  mark (keyboard shortcut Option+Command+T 
  (on a MAC))
  3/ Right mouse click (or type tempo the info you want)
  4/ Pop up menu appears.. you select the note value (the symbol) ala 
  quartet note (Crotchet)
  then type = and then type the BPM ala 120 and wham it is 
  done.

  There are also keywords you can type instead ala "andante" etc which 
  have preset default BPM but I nearly always write mine our as above 
  because it is clearer when reading...

  Seems long but in reality is only a couple of key strokes and a 
  number...
