A big use of Finale for me is for short, single-line notation
examples used either as part of some teaching notes, home-grown
theory papers, or part of a question in an exam. To do this I utilize
the following abilities in Finale:
* Hide time signatures and key signatures
* Hide rests
* Measures which allow any number of notes in them (such as a notated
scale of eight whole notes without needing to make a 32/4 time sig).
* Move individual noteheads in a measure (eg: to make space at the
end of a measure)
* Exporting of a selection to TIFF or EPS
Generally I then bring these into MS Word to be surrounded with text
or explanation.
Does Sibelius have this flexibility for measures that are a bit odd
in their timing or positioning?
PS: The huge discussion of Sibelius 4 here is the first time I've
seen this list have more "hmmm interesting" rather than "not bad, but
no dice" posts. I don't remember the tenor of potential Sibelius
acceptance ever being as strong here before.
