I don't think there's much value in comparing an older version of Sibelius (a 1.x version) to the then-current version of Finale. To me, the only valid comparison is whatever is most common now, which, I think would be Sibelius 2.x (version 3.x is recent?), and the point of comparison would probably be the version of Finale that was available during the year that Sibelius 2.x was released. And for such a comparison to be truly useful, we'd have to know what's changed in more recent versions of Sibelius and Finale. And, of course, I asked for a list that could then be rebutted by Sibelius users. Such an old list is not worth their time to address as it's simply much too out-of-date to be relevant to the discussion. We already know that Sibelius *was* inferior to Finale back then (which is not surprising for a program that was very new at the time). The question is whether or not it is now. The only value to the old list would be to know how quickly Sibelius fixed the problem (and how it was accomplished) and how complex the workarounds are for things that were not outright impossible. -- David W.
