Considering the large number of posts on apparently a Sibelius question (there was no reference to Finale comparisons in the subject) and not being a Sibelius user, I ignored the initial posts, since I do not have the time to spend reading everything that comes through. I only read what is relevant to my work. Does that make me a 'lurker'? How many of you actually read everything? I do not consider myself an expert user of Finale (and I am still using 2002 since there have been no useful updates to the product - in my opinion) so I usually only participate in discussions of a musical rather than technical nature. Does that make me a 'lurker'? I was quite happy to accept the opinion that the Sibelius discussion was indeed relevant, but others have made a mountain out of a mole hill. As far as 'changing the discussion by asking a question' is concerned, I do not want to add even more volume, making it more likely that useful discussions will be missed. I am more concerned with reducing the volume of mail coming in. A simple, 'It's relevant!' would have sufficed. No doubt I shall now go back to lurking, until I can think of some other way of generating even more junk than my simple (?) question.
