All this talk of Sibelius made me curious so I've been messing with the demo most of the day.
Two questions: 1 - Can I position the Title text anywhere I want it to be? I can get it to move up and down. But, horizontally I can only make it be justified left, right or center. It cannot be moved left and right. 2 - In Finale you have quanitzation settings and can 're-transcribe' all or part of the music based on those settings after music has already been inputed (or imported via midi). Those settings include the ability to have or not have a 2nd voice. In Sibelius I can import midi files (or use the flexi thingy) and specify the quantization, more or less, but I cannot figure out any way to re-transcribe the music to new quantization settings or to merge Sibelius' voices into one, the voices being, I guess, anlagous to Finale's layers. I can't even find a quantization setting. I usually don't do much midi importing, but right now I have a need to do that and I find I use the 're-transcribe' Finale function a lot when dealing with midi files. I know Sibelius' marketing department has all the die-hard fans and notation software novices believing that Sibelius is more intuitive and easier, but I say that's nonsense. (This Sibelius vs. Finale reminds me of the older days of the Mac vs. IBM PC). As the saying goes, "we are not impressed." (Yet).
