To Matthew's comment
This seems to be very true.and I would note that in another forum, I posted a link to the newish comparison on the Coda website, comparing features of Finale and a "competitor" {Sibelius is not mentioned by name), then decided that, being produced by MakeMusic, this chart was biased. So I surfed over to the Sibelius site, to find their chart. Found lots of testimonials proclaiming the superiority of Sibelius, but no chart proving it.
Once a Siberius rep challenged me so I asked can you do this and that. Finale won :-)
It generally seems, if you look at anecdotal evidence, that people prefer what they're used to.
This is certainly true of me. Having come to computers relatively late in life (motivated by the appearance of the first version of Finale - how many years ago), it would take an overwhelming list of Sibelius advantages to get me to switch. Many younger users are not so afflicted with resistance to learning new software and are probably in a better position to make experimental forays into new software territory. (I haven't even gotten the hang of making Quickeys work consistently and well.)
