Which one do you prefer (include version . . . e.g. 2007, 2005, etc. for Finale or 3, 4, 5, etc. for Sibelius), and why? -------------------- John Marianna High School ---> '01 - '03 (Mellophone), '04 (Mello/Pit), '05 - '07 (Brass & Battery Tech) Memphis Sound D&BC ---> '07 (Mello - Div III Champion, High Brass, Perc & Vis), '08 - ?? (Brass Tech)

The same is true for most Finale users who have tested Sibelius. If I actually invested the time to learn Finale and all of it's bells and whistles I might actually prefer it to Sibelius but I don't see that happening any time soon. -------------------- Chris Namislo

(this is what I learned to use first) However, if I'm writing for percussion I usually use Sibelius because it sounds better for percussion and makes more sense for percussion writing. P.S. I use Finale 2006 and Sibelius 4.

Well, I wasn't horribly disappointed in Sib 5, it is easier to use than 3 or 4, but Finale '08 still kicks its tail.
