I, so far, find Sibelius extremely backwards. Like putting articulations
on notes after I enter them. Still can't figure that out. Nor if you
decide you want to change an instrument on a score.
So far, I've tried to do two trios with Sibelius, but ended up going
back to Finale cause it was just not working very well for me........
That's fine -- in Finale, using Speedy Entry, I've always entered the
notes first and then the articulations, so that wasn't a stopper for me.
Changing an instrument in the score, while keeping all the music can be
done several ways -- from the Mixer window or from the Create -
Instrument dialog where you add a new staff, then select all the music
in the old instrument staff and then paste it into the new staff then
delete the old staff.
But it took me three versions of Sibelius before I finally felt
comfortable working in it. I wouldn't expect others to keep at it if
they don't wish to.
If Finale works fine for you and you don't run into the bugs that have
amassed in recent versions, then you should keep on working in Finale.
I find that when I start Finale2k8 it doesn't feel the same and I don't
like the new feel, but when I fire up Fin2k7 or earlier (I've got them
all going back to 2004 on my computer still) I feel right at home.
And when I start Sib5 (now 5.1) I feel right at home, too.
