Sibelius and Finale
Some of you are close enough to the industry to give me
a picture of the battle between these two publishing programs. I'm getting the idea that Sibelius is winning out, although as far as I can tell, when it comes to complex or unconventional notation, Finale is still more capable. What are you seeing in the professional world. Any insights as to the various strengths of each program? Thanks, Tobiah |

Last I knew he favored Finale. I had the impression Finale was the standard. Perhaps things have changed. Sibelius is named after a composer who set the score of his last symphony on fire, so there is that. |

Sibelius and Finale
I'm not close to the industry, but my brother is a composer. Last I knew he favored Finale. I had the impression Finale was the standard. 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. 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. 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. Tobiah |

I see scores from Sibelius for the most part, although occasionally I still see hand-copied scores which shows you so how far behind we might be. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
