It selects almost anything on the page and allows superficial edits
(like moving expressions and articulations) and then expands into the
particular tool you need to do more exacting edits. This is more
difficult to describe than to experience. It is a forward step. I bet
there are videos in the demo version.

Thanks Matthew
How is the selection tool better in the latest versions of Finale,
please?

David, I have both of them, Finale 2010 and Sibelius 6.1.
I in fact started using Sibelius 6.1 today and it feels a lot
better than
previous versions, somehow, if also a bit slower. The collision
avoidance
thing is great on some levels.
If you have time to relearn everything and are feeling brave, then
sure,
why
not give Sibelius a whirl. Certainly in Australia Sibelius is #1.
But
particularly if you are using Speedy Entry in Finale, and you don't
have a
lot of time, then why not stick with what you know.
There will be some relearning required in Finale as well, e.g.
Expressions.
But the Selection Tool is really so much better and it's worth the
upgrade
I
think for that at least.
The Dolet plugin is really good in helping to convert scores
between the 2
applications if needed.
Cheers
Matthew

My wife and I are using Finale 2004b. One issue I have is that
when I ask
it
to print 2 copies on my Samsung laser printer SCX 4521f, it prints
4 or 6
copies each time. Printer doesn't misbehave with other software.
Don't know if anyone has an answer for that one.
But reading the comments about Fin 10 makes me wary of upgrading.
Is Sib
10
or whatever it is called also full of bugs? Or is it a better
proposition
than Finale now?
