I can't find much that Sibelius does more easily than Finale, but I've been using Finale for 12 years or so, and have grown with it. That doesn't mean it isn't a good program, just that I've been spoiled by learning to think the way Finale thinks, which is definitely NOT the way Sibelius thinks.

As a matter of fact, on the Sibelius list there was recently a question concerning how one could tell at a glance if a score were engraved with Sibelius or Finale or Score, and one wise-ass replied that if you could spot a measure with the incorrect number of beats, it was a Finale score.
Does that mean you can't score a cadenza in Sibelius? Can't have a pickup bar?
In Jonathon's defense, though, several members of this group asked him to post his list, even though he offered to share it individually.
And in another post, Johannes added:
Jonathan didn't start this, he was _asked_ to send this list. We all know
(or should know) that such lists are indeed biased.
Perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention in the original post, but I didn't realize the list in question was the old one that we had already seen many months ago, and which we were told was out of date even then. I was hoping for an up-to-date comparison, and I still am.
I don't mind the bias. Obviously a bias is going to be built into such a compilation. That's why, like David Fenton, I also asked to see a corresponding list of things that Sibelius does better that Finale.
