Sibelius

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.

I used to keep up with all the major accessible music technology for blind musicians, but now it feels harder to stay updated. The #MusicTech industry still has a long way to go, but there's been a great progress—so much more is accessible now compared to just 10 years ago! #Reaper, #Logic, #ProTools, #Samplitude, #Sibelius, #Musescore, #KompleteKontrol, #Ableton Live, #Juce, #Izotope, #Arturia, #Softtube, #Audient, #Focusrite, #Zoom, #SurgeSynth, #UVI, Sao Mai Braille... What else am I missing?

#Finale is bought and extinguished by #Steinberg who sells #dorico.
#musescore is not accepted by major international music publishers, while #Sibelius is subscription only.

Difficult days for #composers

maybe better go back to #handwriting #scores?
