And I see the total opposite. I can't count how many times I've seen
silly looking Sibelius charts in groups where they look like they are
done by monkeys or something. I look at it, and go "in Finale, I could
knock it down to 2 pages and it would look better".
But, either tool, in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, can
produce excellent results.

I'm sorry if it seemed so, but I did not intend to "bemoan" Finale's
"lack of consistency". I simply pointed out, without agreeing, that
Lilypond claims a more human engraved look based on slight
irregularities that are programed into the software. I don't use
Lilypond. I just happened to know of their emphasis and thought it
pertinent to the discussion.
My Sibelius comment was simply that I like the printed look I achieve
with Sibelius more than Finale's. Much of the Finale work that I see
as a performer is not very skillfully done. Clearly careful workers
can achieve much better results. Either app, in the hands of a good
engraver, can produce superior results.
