Your best bet is to use the Dolet 5 plugin for Sibelius. It does co$t
but you can download a 10-day demo that is fully functional if you
only have a few files to convert.
I use the plugin all the time, but the other way: Finale to

From what I keep reading on our List, it sounds like Finale has
become so bug-ridden that it should be avoided. Instead of asking
which is faster, I want to know if Sibelius is more reliable than
Finale 2K8x.
Happily, I am using an older version of Finale. I have no complaints

in finale than in sibelius. ask sibelius users with the same
level of knowledge and experience as the people commenting on finale
bugs and guess what? you'll find sibelius has bugs too, except
they're called features there.
i do get the impression -- and this is not scientifically founded at
all
It depends on what your trying to accomplish. Sibelius provides brackets
and sub brackets as well as keyboard type braces. The bracket and the
brace can be used together but will collide and I have not found a way
to move either from the default horizontal position. They are easily
adjustable
.
One feature missing in Sibelius which Finale has had for years:
Independent time signatures so a person can easily enter a score with,
for example, 6/8 in some staves and 2/4 in others. It's possible in
Sibelius but requires a lot of workarounds to accomplish it. But those

Well, I would say avoid the original version of 2008; it's too buggy

Hi Christopher,
I agree, but I don't know why this freeze on quit bug has hit
in Sibelius.
Sounds to me like anyone who is in the habit of using non-MIDI Speedy
is going to have to learn a completely new entry method if he
switches to Sibelius.

Yep. Especially if all the systems are pre-optimized in the template.

Hi Johannes,
There's no reason why Finale couldn't have automatically updating
optimization with the option to do a manual override. You had to do a
manual override anyway to hide staves containing notes. It would be
easy for Finale to keep track of which staves have been manually
I was merely commenting to what David said: I think it's
crazy that the optimization information is stored with the absolute
system rather than as a global setting that automatically updates the
optimization when conditions change to warrant it.
It is precisely the fact that the optimization
