The studio that develops Sibelius just closed its doors, as you can read in the articles I have linked below. Regardless of which major program you prefer (I'm a Finale user myself), the competition between Sibelius and Finale has motivated many of the major developments in notation software, and it is to the community's benefit to have two programs available. http://www.artsjournal.com/slippeddisc/2012/08/at-sibelius-software-the-last-staff-turn-out-the-lights.html http://www.sibeliususers.org/ I don't think this will affect us in the short-term, but it might a year down the road if Finale 2013 arrives without Sibelius 8 as a competitor.
