Oh and before someone jumps down my throat. I was agreeing whole
heartedly with the "try and see" statement not the "stupid question"
statement.
In my opinion any question raised on these forums is valid no matter
how "stupid" they may seem to some. It is all a matter of where one

Yep. agree whole heartedly. And in trying give both a fair
"hearing".. ala rather than saying Oh bugger Finale doesn't do this well
or Sibelius as crap at that.. They should give both a complete se of
"test run" and see in reality which overall works best.. Both will have
advantages and both wi

TGTools is really what makes Finale shine. I can't imagine using
Finale without it.

Well, if finale could potentially be faster, it might be worth it. Users
who have used both extensively and prefer finale might have some valuable
workflow insights in their explanation as to why finale is faster for them.

Then stick with Sibelius. You really don't need to use TWO different
programs to do notation. It would be like learning Logic and Cubase.

Eric,

but I know it somewhat better than Finale---further practice on finale might

But people work differently, so, say you have two people who are
fluent in both, but one thinks better doing things like Finale does
it, and the other thinks like how Sibelius thinks.
It is really a lame question. What you really need to do, if you are
really interested in it, is to download both
Not in the slightest. Suppose that someone is maximally fluent in both
programs--that is to say, they use each program as fast as humanly
possible. It doesn't follow that they use each program at the same speed,
since the maximum humanly possible speed might be different for each
program. I'm pr
Wouldn't being fluent in one or the other or both really make it a moot point?
