Imagine if some hotshot new startup came along saying, "Photoshop is too complicated, we're going to make a clone that's way easier". Finale/Sibelius have been around for decades the idea that some new thing is going to come in and displace them is wishful thinking. This board likes to hype it up, but I think that's just people venting their frustrations with Finale/Sibelius. Ultimately, they're both about the same and if you're just writing typical-looking music they're both going to be fine.ĭorico is too new. Sibelius's UI is a bit more polished, which is nice for a lot of common use cases, but it can be harder to figure out how to override defaults when you really need to. Finale is a bit more raw, it allows you to do anything but it may be a little hard to figure out how, and sometimes its defaults are ugly. Thanks!įinale and Sibelius are about the same in terms of functionality. We want to know who you are as an r/composer Redditor before granting permission to edit that spreadsheet. PS For those of you who keep emailing me asking to be shared on the spreadsheet comparing various notation programs as linked in the sidebar, please read the first line of the spreadsheet which tells you that you need to message the mods directly. Yes, OP is also looking for our opinions on those three programs in general, but let's try to refrain responding with just that unless you are speaking as someone who works within that industry and has a good feel for the kinds of tasks required in that industry and whether any one of these is better or worse in that context. What will be used for the next decade (presumably within that industry)? What is the industry (film scoring) standard for notation software? Please, please, please do not turn this thread into another "why the notation program I use just happens to be the best one" thread (we already know that Lilypond is the best, if you actually care about how your sheet music looks) but let's try to answer OP's other questions as well: Hey folks, your less friendly but more adorable mod here.
