This is not about "dissing" one program or the other. The discussion started with Darcy commenting about Sibelius's properties sheet as the only way to alter certain things directly. Finale doesn't have that problem -- it's easy to alter text on an individual basis without needing to access any esoteric dialogs. Finale may not be uniform in applying Windows standards for context menus, but if the features are easily accessible and discoverable without that, I don't see the issue. In the case of Sibelius, the feature was not easily accessible or readily discoverable. Implementation of Windows UI conventions would have rectified that. But far be it for me to defend inconsistencies in Finale's UI. I have not and would not do that. The reason it's not been brought up that much in the present discussion is because that's not what the discussion is about. I see nothing unfair about that. -- David W.
