Sib vs Fin
Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2021 3:57 pm
A friend, composer many titles and many sold, came over Saturday. He is a Sibelius users so I was interested in how Sib woks since I haven't d/l a demo for a couple years now. For general music notation I really can't see any big difference. As bad a the print function in Finale is I think Sibelius is worse.
However folks, hold your horses, Sib has a couple things I seriously think Finale needs. One is simple it's already available to them yet they don't embrace it. Sibelius has "optimize layout". It works very well with a simple click. It displays anything it can't position in red which is very little. Al MM needs do is incorporate Perfect Layout in the software. IT SHOULD BE THERE ALREADY MAKE MUSIC!
The second feature Sib has and since MM thinks sharing is such a big deal, is it make a video sound file with the cursor following the music. Super cool Finale.
