I've used Finale for years, and like it a lot. I haven't used it much for
generating MIDI, though, mostly just for making scores and parts. The
learning curve was a bit steep, but I haven't run into any notation tasks
that I couldn't do with it.
I also have Sibelius here so I can handle scores written by others I know
that use Sibelius, but I haven't spent an awful lot of time with it yet. My
first impression is that it's easier than Finale for getting a score done,
but more difficult to make the score look good.
We need to establish whether the aim is MIDI output, or printed parts
for a recording with live musicians. Sibelius and Finale are suited
to the second.
