If he wants to keep his job, VERY likely. The most unbiased head to head comparison I am familar with between Sibelius and Finale is in Steven Powell's book, _Music Engraving Today_. While this is hampered by the fact that it uses out of date versions of both packages--SIB1.4 and FIN 2k1 or 2k2, Powell writes in some detail about the reasons he finds Finale to be the superior package for engraving purposes. The book was published right around the time 2k3 and Sib 2.0 were released, and promised a updated comparison on Powell's website, but last time I check (and admittedly it has been at least a couple of months ago, the comparison of the updated versions had still not been published. Every instance with which I am familiar in which there was supposed to be a head to head comparison between the two programs, it has been canceled and I have been led to believe in every case it was because Sibelius pulled out. ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
