However, when Sib3 saves files in Sib2 format, you lose all of the new features that Sib3 has initiated, such as colors that correspond to some school music instrument made out of colored tubes that kids whack when they see that colored note. So you can create a beautiful score in Sib3 with everything you want, save it in Sib2 format to send to a buddy for additional editing, and when they send that Sib2 file back to you with the changes, you have to go right back and re-edit all that colored stuff you originally worked so hard to get just right.
Well, of course. How else could it be? It's still far better than having no backwards compatibility at all, IMO.
Join the Sibelius group at yahoogroup and read all the "it used to work this way on the Acorn version, why doesn't it work in version 2?" and "it didn't work in version 2, why doesn't it work yet in version 3?" messages and realize that Sibelius is way behind Finale in terms of program maturity.
That's all well and good, but I have to say, the raw speed of Sib 3 in OS X is looking *awfully* good right now to anyone slogging it out with Fin2004 in OS X. When your app is sluggish even on a dual 2.0 GHz G5, you've got problems.
