I have experience mostly with Sibelius and Finale, and since I switched to Ubuntu recently, also with MuseScore. I wouldn’t recommend Finale at all. It requires the most manual tweaks of all three. If you’re used to Lilypond, I think you would be very irritated ;-). Sibelius is in general an excellent choice (except for its disenchanting Opus font): the things that it gets wrong in terms of spacing can be easily and quickly corrected with two clicks. I read that even that’s been automated in the most recent version, so the layout is probably very good by default. More accidental rules, like Lilypond has, is something I really miss in Sibelius. www.martinrinconbotero.com On 25.
