Hi Richard,[snip]
We've added a new feature to Simple called the Simple Entry Caret. Like RP mentioned, you select a duration, then play notes on your MIDI keyboard, ala speedy w/capslock. Here's a big difference between Simple and Speedy--you can "repitch"--copy a line to another staff (ie trumpet 1 to trumpet 2) and change all the pitches at the MIDI keyboard without changing the rhythms. I tell you what, I cut a bunch of time off my entry speed...
To the group at large: I don't think it's fair to download the Sibelius demo to see what Finale is like. Some things are similar, but Finale is far superior in other areas:
There are other things, but these are the biggies.
You left off the biggest difference: Finale is by far, hands-down, the better of the two programs, from a music engraving point of view! And I own and work with both programs (Finale far more than Sibelius, when I have a choice, you can be sure!)
