[HANASHIR:13068] RE: Sibelius or Finale

[Adrian Durlester <adrian...>]

I have been using Finale since one of its earliest versions, and have
steadily upgraded since, and I am now using Finale 2003. It used to come
with three thick manuals. Now all of that is on the CD-Rom. It's all
still rather intimidating. Even after all these years I have yet to
master all of its intricacies, nor have I had the occasion to utilize
all of its features. It remains, however, the most complete,
comprehensive and customizable musical transcription software made. If
you are looking for a serious product for serious composition or
transcription, Finale is definitely the way to go. Coda Music offers a
generous educational and music ministry discount program.
