Mark Clark	Tech: Sibelius vs Finale (86* d)	RE: Tech: Sibelius vs Finale	09 Oct 10
Nigel uses Logic Pro 9 so I'm assuming he's a Mac user. There is a rather nice and free music engraver for the Mac called MuseScore that I use to make PDF scores for my iPad. It's worth trying. I have owned a full Finale license for eighteen years or so but I never use it. I don't even update it anymore. I got so frustrated with the complexity (and I'm a computer professional) and the fact that they'd change the interface with every release so it was always like learning a new program. If I need a publication grade score I go to LilyPond every time. Sometimes I prepare LilyPond input using TuxGuitar, sometimes I convert from ABC or MusicXML and sometimes I just type in the code. Were I going to buy music engraving software today, it would be Sibelius 6 First which is available for under USD 100.00. - Mark
