Re: [L-OT] notation software comparison

2003-07-17 by Santi Galán

With all my respects:

I don't say "Finale may have changed", I said Finale HAS changed, and
talking now about a very old version like the 3.x is like comparing Logic 5
with Creator or Notator...
I make part of my living teaching people to do scoring on computers with
Finale, and I find that for the most part, even persons with no background
in computers are able to use this program and make a pretty good amount of
different kinds of scores, just with some classes.
Anyway, I again reccomend everybody that is willing to start with a notation
program, find someone to explain him both of the professional choices
(Sibelius and Finale), and then decide...

Regards

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.
