Re: [L-OT] notation software comparison

2003-07-17 by Paul Nicholls

Finale may have changed but I in the past it was a horror story.  
Sibelius is fast and very direct and has pretty good MIDI. I find I get  
the job done fast and I don't have to crack the manual all the time as  
Finale users are noted to do. There are also a lot of new music  
features if you are interested in them.  I would not go for FInale  
unless you really know what you are getting into.
