I think they're working out a bunch of the requirements that jazz/commercial/studio engravers need so maybe I'll try it out in a little while, but I honestly don't see a reason to switch instead it just blows me away. A lot of people in the engraving community are excited about that one. I don't use both, and while that's only cost me work on one project, it was a project I really wanted to be involved in.ĭorico (made by the old Sib guys) has promise, but I'd wait a few more versions to see if they get everything together before I plopped down the money on it.

Many of my colleagues use Sibelius, and most professional engravers use Finale and Sibelius (or are at least skilled enough to work in both) as those two are the most commonly used by publishers, composers and arrangers. The MIDI mockups in sib sound a little better and it's capable of sounding great if you want to get under the hood and tweak it. Sibelius is probably closest as far as available competitors that produce professional results in a reasonable user interface, but it's part of AVID now and they got rid of the original programmers and it's by subscription so I can't recommend them anymore.

I've seen on forums where people complain that they have to use MS paint or Adobe PDF or something to edit it after they're done - that's not necessary in 99% of cases, you just have to know how to do what it is you want to do. Given the plethora of online videos (free and paid) and third party manuals, it's soooooooo much easier to learn now than it was when I started with it (Finale 2000 was my first version.) You just need to invest time, which you're going to do with any notation program. It is the "industry standard" for a reason - you can do anything with it. As far as making professionally engraved parts, though, I don't think it has a competitor. It is not the easiest program, it is not quick if you're not fluent with it, and frankly the MIDI mockups suck (I'm not a fan of Garritan at all). It's REALLY useful if you don't have to rewrite the whole score or part first. Sometimes even just fitting a part onto 1 page or making it landscape instead of portrait. Changing small parts in existing parts, moving stuff around in the scores.

Scanning very old archived files, and make new and up-to data versions of that. The plugins I mentioned is Photoscore, available in 'lite' for about 70 or 'ultimate' for 229.

There now is a free one with up to 4 instruments, a regular one at 5 dollars a month or 109 forever, and then there's the ultimate for 20 a month or 560 forever. There are student licenses and 'light' plugins available as well. This makes it expensive to use, but worth it for me. The main reason I chose Sibelius was that it had (and still has) the option to easily scan sheet music (or import PDFs) and import that into Sibelius to edit. I honestly haven't even tried the other ones available. I use Sibelius, because I know how it works

Sibelius has always given me license issues that are really annoying when I just want to sit down and write. For me, that price is worth it although I've been switching over everything to Linux recently and I'm not a full-time musician (or even part time ) and so I have been tempted to export everything I have in XML format and just go for MuseScore. I qualify for an academic license so it was like $250 or something. Feels like at least 5 years but I could be wrong about that. I purchased that license around the time the acquisition happened. I still use Sibelius because I have a perpetual license for 7.5 and it's what I'm familiar with. LilyPond is another free alternative that some people seem to like but it doesn't seem to be nearly as robust to me as MuseScore though I also haven't used it in awhile so I don't know if its likewise improved since I last did any serious testing between the applications. People seem to be able to come up with some really professional looking stuff in it I don't know if you can be a 'pro' and use it (in the sense that publishing companies might not accept it) but for your purposes it would be quite fine.

Though I will say that MuseScore released v2 sometime last year I believe and it is leaps and bounds above v1.

There really isn't anything in between free and professional. It is developed by the team who built Sibelius prior to their acquisition by Avid.
