I would happily switch to Sibelius (I own version 5) if I could tweak things like I can in Finale. If Bill Duncan's fonts/templates were on it, and, more importantly, if there was a way to Natively open Finale files. No XML, none of that. If Sibelius could open a Finale file and have it "wo

Yes, pitch before time is a great thing in Finale. Love it. Well, hopefully Finale 2010 will have something similar to Magnetic but I think we'll probably get something like goofy notation for kids or automatic Pop music background generation rather than something actually useful. On Thu, May 2

I thought it was kind of funny that Sibelius has now even put in crap that Finale has had. Like singing in music. Which never works right. Or dynamics notated depending on how hard you played a note. Finale has had these for a while. And I wonder how the "Store" thing is going to monitor for copyr

Finale really sucks as a sequencer. If you want to get a good realization of whatever you are doing, avoid Finale. However, if you are working on a project that you already have sketched out, you can enter it into Finale, complete with dynamics, articulations, tempo changes, etc. Then export it in

No, because the Midi Sequencing in ProTools still sucks compared to Logic/DP/Cubase. It is a LOT better in PT8, but it still has a long way to go. Plus, any Virtual Instruments you want to use in an arrangement need have to have a RTAS version, which most do, but not all. You can use an adapter pr
