For me, the Sibelius 4 demo is significantly slower than the Sibelius 3 demo in terms of UI responsiveness, especially in regard to typing text into the score. If I use the Ctrl-Alt-T shortcut to load the mouse cursor for typing into the score, it takes about a second for the cursor to appear, and once I start typing, I have to wait to see the text appear. And moving the text around is very slow, as well. Everything in regard to screen redraw is terribly slow in Sibelius 4. The comparable actions in Sibelius 3 are just fine -- no problems at all. Finale is faster for all kinds of screen redraw and editing than either Sibelius demo. Do people with more modern Windows PCs find the same comparative difference between Sibelius 3 and 4? Or is there some odd incompatibility with the graphics subsystem on my PC? -- David W.
