Am I missing something?
Can you insert notes into the middle of a measure that already has some notes in it? Is there a cursor that tells you where notes will be inserted? I played with the Sibelius download and found it extremely frustrating. It was like Finale Simple entry from 5 versions back. Maybe I was doing it wrong. It wasn't the note entry that was frustrating but the horridly mouse-based methods for applying articulations/expressions. And then the inability to format the layout of the score after I put in the notes (how could I know what adjustments I needed to make to layout until *after* I'd put the content into the file?), and I just gave up. For all those who claim the Sibelius UI is so intuitive, I'd like to hear an explanation. Was I unable to find the methods for accomplishing basic things (i.e., bad UI), or is Sibelius simply unable to do the things I was puzzled by (i.e., badly designed application)? -- David W.
