Actually Sibelius could always place bar numbers under the bottom staff but, until version 5, it required a two step process the second step of which was a somewhat obscure adjustment that was easily missed. This was all changed in Sibelius 5. Bar number adjustments are now very easy and very flexi

It's not even on Sibelius' schedule to implement. sibelius policy is to let you know "this isn't needed by many users, we won't implement it." but with a smile, direct from the CEOs. finale policy is for some random techie to sometimes to deny the problem exists until they are proven wrong

I thought I'd update the list on my inability to open my 2009 documents in 2010. It is a known problem to MakeMusic that a 'handful' of people have encountered.

Well, the Sibelius 6 demo showed me enough to make me think cross-upgrading (and keeping Finale going) was worth doing. So, after many years of using Finale exclusively, I've started using Sibelius. (And interestingly, even though it was a competitive upgrade, I was able to register my copy online

I should add that while I haven't upgraded to Sibelius 6, Sibelius 5 is, overall, not as well-suited to my needs as Finale 2008 (still my preferred working version of Finale, though I'll probably switch to Finale 2010 once the 2010a patch is released). Gliss lines in particular are a total

Hi Johannes, When I originally started using Sibelius, I asked this question on the Sib list, and someone (can't remember who) gave me some beam settings that give Henle-like results. I'm afraid I no longer have that email, but probably if you ask on the Sib list someone will be able to hel

My main issue that Sibelius cannot do is a small thing, but something I really want. That is, to be able to have a system start with (for instance) the double bar that appears at the end of the previous system. It will not do that and, according to the Sibelius people, I shouldn't want it t
