I find this problematic because if you test these big programs for, say an hour, I'm afraid you won't get much of an idea of how they work for you in serious everyday use for years ahead. I think Sibelius looks more attractive visually and you probably get your first music sheet done easier and in less time with Sibelius than with Finale, so the person testing these programs will end up choosing Sibelius without a doubt. So it would require a lot of time to really know which is going to be better for your working style. I too would like to be able to present some believable reasoning why either is more suitable to different kinds of work. Here in Sibelius Academy, Finland (we have nothing to do with the company:-) I also get asked that question a lot: which is better. I believe the best insight comes from the people that actually use both actively or even professionally. Are there others than David? Would be glad to hear your thoughts. I know this has been discussed before, but maybe updates to this topic would be in order.
