Perhaps things have changed.
I was googling around to see whether there was any engraving work, and
the ads that specified mandated experience with Sibelius.Â* The buzz
has always been getting going with Sibelius is quicker, while there
are simply things you're not going to be able to do unless you have Finale.
I'm a Finale guy ever since it was shipped on a single floppy disk.
Certain core aspects of it haven't changed since then.Â* Only about
a year ago they claimed to have re-written everything in an object-oriented
style, but the interface hasn't changed much.
Once in while I download a Sibelius demo and don't get far enough
to make a fair comparison.
I'm just wondering if the industry is making the change to Sibelius
and whether that's driven by accessibility or capability.

A local university jazz school here favours, I believe, Siblius.
