Finale will do this as well. As to whether Finale is much harder to
learn than Sibelius that is arguable. Having used Finale on PC for
ten years I changed to a Mac (highly recommended) and decided to try
Sibelius. I could not come to grips with it; many of the operations
seemed needlessly complex and I have now gone back to Finale.
