Re: [Finale] comparing finale/sibelius

[Andrew Stiller]

68: It is impossible to have two brackets of the same type in 
different horizontal positions, as for example when a divided string 
section uses extra staves. Sibelius forces you to use their 
"subsidiary bracket" (actually a desk bracket) for this purpose even 
in places where it is inappropriate--and heaven help you if you need 
more than three layers of bracketing. I find it very strange that an 
application developed in England would enforce a bracket style that 
is standard only in France and Russia.

** This is true.  Not a problem for me personally, but if you work 
with large ensembles and need to conform to a particular publisher's 
style, this is tough to do at the moment.

Tough? It is totally impossible, as I took nearly 6 months finding 
out. I am therefore in the process of publishing a score that 
contains a notation I regard as flatly incorrect.
