Did any of the thread subjects lack the word "Sibelius" in them? > Seriously, what is the point of this thread?

The same people who contribute most of the Finale-related content seem to be the ones who were generating all the Sibelius-related content. Why is it, then, that people whose names I don't recognize (i.e., they don't post often, if at all) feel they have some grounds for criticizing what the people who *are* posting have chosen to discuss? If you don't like the current topics, then START A FINALE-RELATED THREAD. This even leaves aside the fact that all of that content was associated with the very relevant issue of "how does Sibelius stack up to Finale?" I am quite glad that we have Sibelius users on the list who were kind enough to respond to those of us who had specific questions about how Sibelius works. It helps us make a much more objective evaluation when we have the explanations of people who have a deep understanding of the competitor program. -- David W.
