With apologies for answering Sibelius questions on the Finale list, just
set the page view to page width (or so). Then "home" will go to the
previous page, "end" to the next page, while adding shift will go to the
first and last pages respectively. The page up and page down keys should
get you up and down the page as needed.
Having first used Sibelius with version 1 after years of Finale use, I,
too, missed scroll view. But, after a few days, I adapted and have not
missed it since. In fact I tend to work in Finale in page view as well
and have used Sibelius' new Panorama (scroll) view very little. But
that's just me, others will, no doubt, have different experiences.

While I would generally agree with this, I've been learning Sibelius
for the past 5 weeks or so, having jumped on their cross-grade sale
back in October. And while I always have worked initially in Finale
using scroll view, I haven't as yet even tried it in Sibelius. And to
be honest, I'm really not missing it. I will say the method of work
in Sib is quite different and that's been my first major hurdle. The
one thing about their page view that I don't like is a lack of a
keyboard command to go from page to page or back to the top. Maybe I
just haven't found it yet.
But all in all, in my quite limited exposure thus far, it's quite
usable and viable alternative to Finale.

Well, I think Sibelius is now very, very close to being an easy
switch for an experienced Finale user. Now that they have a scroll
view was really the last glaring defect in getting stuff done in
Sibelius in my view. I don't know how people worked or work in that
silly pageview mode they have.
