All my students use Sibelius FWIW- it really does seem to have cornered the market here in the UK, I think. Last week, one of them sent a Sib File to me, but it was Sib 3, so I couldn't open it. (I have the demo for 2 on my mac, but as it only runs 8.6, I can't use the Sib 3 demo.) I emailed him back, and he replied 'no problem' and sent it as a Sib 2 file. I found that very impressive.
