But, I suggest working with the auto justification for a while first.
Once you get a feel for what it's doing, you'll feel like you are in
control again and then you may like it. Page layout is, to me, the way
in which Sibelius and Finale differ the most. I've have grown to prefer
Sibelius' approach but I didn't at first.
I like the page layout features in Sibelius a bit better than Finale's,
but only by a small margin. I hate the auto-justification aspect of
either program (the space systems evenly feature of Finale), preferring
to be in control of the entire page myself.
John, you're not the only one who hates the auto justification feature
in Sibelius! :-)
You might also learn the tools under the "layout" menu. There you can
force a system or a page break exactly where you want it. You can also
force a bar to the next line by highlighting the barline and hitting
"enter".
The filter is great tool. It can save lots of time and tedious mouse
clicks.
I agree that the ability to filter for very specific items is a useful
feature of Sibelius which I wish were available in Finale. I use it
only a small part of the time, but when I use it, it makes things so
much easier.
