I currently have Finale 2006 which is very good. Yet many people say that they use Sibelius. Which do you think is better?

I use the Finale Notepad (and like it alot), but I have a 'music genius' friend who hates Finale because the program is not advanced enough for him.

i think sibelius is a good program, its user friendly, has a good playback and more universal than anything else ( in my limited 3-4 year experiance)

Well really Finale is made by Sibelius now so which ever way you go they're pretty much the same program...Theres not a lot of difference between the two. I wouldnt be to bothered by which one is better

I use Finale notepad. I don't like it. It only has the basic stuff, it doesn't have dynamic settings. It has crescendoes and decrescendoes but not dynamic settings. It don't have 1st and 2nd ending settings either.

I now have Sibelius and it is amazing. It's really helping me to compose because it has everything you'd want. I strongly reccommend if you have the money!

Sibelius is better if you're a musician (He said, from the point of view of someone who hasn't tried Finale in about 15 years...) because it 'thinks' the way you do, but I don't really trust the company because I bought Sibelius when it first came out, you had to buy a RiscPC because that was the only machine fast enough to run the program back then, but in return they promised early adopters free upgrades for life.
When the IBM clone PCs finally caught up with RiscPCs they abandoned the Risc machines. So much for free upgrades for life...

I have been on Finale, but I vote Sibelius - they use it at school in the Music Department (and our music department rules, so no doubt it's good software!!)

I always use sibelius 4. I havn't tried the full version of finale just the free notepad download. but for me sebailious is better becuse more people I know use it and we share tips- because we're just getting the hang of it.

Finale is way too basic. If you want a free version of composition software I suggest Noteworthy Composer. Sibelius is definetely better.
