O.k. So I've been using Sibelius for a little over two weeks now, having switched from Finale. (Did you know Avid offers a heavily discounted perpetual license for Finale users? They do, you just have to dig to find it)

Things I love about Sibelius right now:
Everything to in the "Review" tab.

Things I suspect I will enjoy once I get used to them: All the stuff around copying\pasting notes

Thing I'll be o.k. with once I get used to: not having a floating tool bar that is full of arcane symbols

Thing I instinctively hate: all the icons in the top ribbon looking like they were designed after the mid 90s.

From "A Guide to Musical Analysis" by Nicolas Cook:

"In all these respects, as in others, the ordinary performance score constitutes an informal and rather unsystematic analysis of musical sound, sacrificing detailed representation in the interests of clarity, simplicity and intelligibility."

Not sure why, but I just know the first draft of this ended with ".. intelligibility, [colleague's name]".

Yes I know that actually they're what happen when you force a written system developed for tuning systems where the keys sound different unto one that's (nominally) equal temperament. And that in some situations they can actually help performers by keeping the "shape" of scales and chord the same so that the right fingering patterns kick into play in a way they wouldn't for an enharmonically equivalent note.

But: we teach them WAY earlier in theory classes than folks ever get to them in performance situations, and you can't convince me that's not just because theory teachers are a little bitter about having to teach 101 classes.

What's your process/tools for tabs notation? I'm dissatisfied with a lot of the tabs I find online (duh) & want to do more of my own tabs.

I suppose pencil & paper's probably the place to start 😅

But any suggestions? I want to do proper notation (see 🧵) not just text-based tabs.

I've used musescore but they've gone completely commercial now?

Suggestions? 🙏 & boosts appreciated.
