Actually, Sibelius put it a great Parts thing before Finale had it. And it does save a TON of time (on either program).
And Sibelius has a scroll view, called Panorama view or something. Now if Sibelius had a speedy entry feature (where you can do all the pitches first and then the duration), and a way to migrate all my Finale files to Sibelius without me having to do anything..........and something like TGTools.......I'd use it all the time.
