Well, if this post gets out there, since I had no responses to my query
inre what sorts of playback sounds were available in Sib 5, and after
finally having found some of the info on the Sibelius product
description, I went ahead the coughed up the $80 and ordered one. I'd
still like to know from those who have now used both fin and Sib 5, are
there more options for library sounds in sib than in fin, and if so,
what is the relative quality of said sounds? Looking forward to playing
around with it and seeing what it can do. The user friendly tech support
will be a welcome change, especially for one not particularly
technically gifted, as you have do doubt perceived by this time. While
I'm at it, I do want to thank all the folks who have helped me get
through the learning curve on mac fin oo7 (Shaken, not stirred, thank
you very much).
Yes there is more variety in Sibelius.
Whereas Finale only includes the GPO subset and then included the DXi
version of the SmartMusic soundfont, Sibelius also got some instruments
from the JABB set so there are saxophones included. And it also
includes wider choices of percussion instruments along with a GM set.
It is a larger set, all of the same quality that is included with Finale.
