While we are on about it: House styles is another area where Sibelius is
far superior to Finale.
Several times I have suggested ways how some house style functionality
could be added to Finale with as I understand very limited programming
effort (as most of it is already in Finale, just not used).
All it needs from my perspective:
- More fields in the File info, which should all be addable via
placeholders.
- Better handling of default fonts
- a description field for articulations
- a set of plugins which can deal with moving the notation data from one
template to another, utilizing the above (ie distiguishing standard
articulations like staccato etc by their description field), plus the
ability to run certain plugins automatically (like Patterson beams).
As far as I can see this would open the way for house styles, in a more
flexible way than Sibelius offers.
