I hate Sibelius.  (Sorry, no help.) Can I ask why ? It looks pretty fantastic to me. But then, I'm not an expert.

All the obvious controls you'd use for every other piece of software are turned out in favour of it's own system. Overblown, drawn out and just so incredibly annoying.  Rant over. Rog, I'm afraid I've never heard of Finale. They tried to teach us how to use Sibelius on my course, and every one of us agreed it was rubbish. It's a good thing we're not actually required to use it.

Huw uses it for music at school - he's currently working on a prog rock epic for piano, xylophone and theramin

at least over here, Finale and Sibelius are the two major music notation players. I think Sibelius grew out of a UK company and something called Acorn, though I could be remembering that totally incorrectly!
I really want to like Sibelius since he's my favorite composer. (besides the Godfrey Bros., of course.)

I know that Sibelius has strong links with Digidesign (the company that makes and sells Pro Tools).
