Sibelius
DOES ask you to specify the accidentals and
augmentation dots before entering the notes. This is
not optional unless you backtrack to the note, a
method which is obviously not efficient.
Hello Tyler,
Well, this brings us right back to the point I have been making for years
on this list. Both programs have a combination of annoyances and
features. If the features column for you is longer than the annoyances,
then you make your choice and *find ways to work around the
annoyances. Discussions like this help us root out those annoyances to see
if there are congenial solutions.
For example, in Sibelius, I have 1-key macros for each accidental & aug.
dots. Each macro goes back, adds the required character and flips back to
entry position, waiting for the next note; as fast & simple as Finale.
*F to enter a fermata is a reflex for me.
For me too............in BOTH Sibelius and Finale.
We all can come to terms with both the Angels and the Devils in our work,
one way or another.
