Subject: Re: [kl] Finale or Sibelius?

I've been using Finale for twelve years, and a couple of years ago I=20
took an intensive course about Sibelius. I am pretty quick with Finale,=20
I love the speedy entry tool, and I use it near daily, so after the=20
Sibelius course I continued using Finale, too much used to writing music =

with it, BUT, I think that Sibelius is easier to learn, as it uses more=20
windows things, like right clicking and the scroll wheel. (It's weird=20
why Coda Music doesn't implement those things in Finale).

I think you can reach the same degree of work with both of it, but=20
things that in Sibelius are at hand simply right clicking, in Finale are =

sometimes buried in lots of option windows and menus. So, my opinion, if =

you already use Finale, don't change, but if you are beginning, try=20
Sibelius.
