I haven't actually looked at Sibelius in a long time, but in David's
case I am actually pretty sure he would find a lot of things to his
liking in Sibelius. The basic concept of the application is much more
what he has been asking for. Partly because Sibelius is a more modern
package. But also considering what David does, I actually wonder whether
Sibelius would actually be much more suited to his work than Finale.

For all those who claim the Sibelius UI is so intuitive, I'd like to
hear an explanation. Was I unable to find the methods for
accomplishing basic things (i.e., bad UI), or is Sibelius simply
unable to do the things I was puzzled by (i.e., badly designed
application)?
it may be you just don't know the programme. i used it recently and
found some things frustrating because i hadn't figured out how to do
them, but saw a colleague working just as fast on sib as i do on finale,
i just hadn't mastered the keyboard shortcuts.
not a concrete answer, but there is no reason to judge it so harshly:
you (as i am) are a sibelius beginner and experienced finale user. maybe
reading a sib manual would help... or at the very least giving it a more
than cursory test drive.
cheers,
jef
