  • Oh, geez..am I still getting replies from people about my comment? Will all of you stop trying to make me famous? Do not thumbs up this....but don't thumbs down. I have said what I needed to say...=)

  • From a copy editor who uses both on a consistent basis, I would argue both programs can do virtually anything. Sibelius has a leg up on Finale for me, due to Finale's struggling lyrics system.

    I think Sibelius is a little more user-friendly than Finale is.

    Finale has better playback, but Sibelius has a comments note system.

    Both are excellent programs.

    The point is to get writing. Not to be altruistic, but I think the best music is yet to be written.

  • @100jllp Sibelius has academic discounts as well.

  • finale, definitely.

  • I say that Sibelius is more user-friendly, but you find that more places are Finale-friendly. It's weird, I know, but it's sort of like comparing Mac to Windows. I personally use Finale, but I don't mind Sibelius, and sometimes prefer it when the mood hits me.

  • @MadMagezz what's the simplest thing in Sibelius that you can not do in Finale?

  • @MadMagezz Yes, Sibelius 7 is more Friendly. The design of Finale is like word 2003, but the design of Sibelius 7 is like Word 2010

  • It's like comparing which car-factory drives the best..

  • @MChiribogaD simple things, which you have to do intuitively you cannot do. Im definitely experienced computer user, especially with music programs, but i had to waste my time and read the manual to make the most simple stuff working.

  • @MadMagezz  why?
