Time to switch from Finale yet?
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 3:25 pm
Every few versions or so I check in to see if Sibelius has implemented a couple of features that I use in Finale. I would switch if it could do these:
1. I prefer fingering numbers a precise distance to the left of the
notehead, but with flexibility for the vertical placement. In Finale I can
hold down a key and click a notehead, and the fingering number, as a custom articulation is placed at the vertical position of the click and the exact distance from the notehead (regardless of where I click on the notehead horizontally).
2. I like fingering numbers in which there is a small amount of the
staff line around the number whited out so that the staff line does not continue over the top of the number.
Is it time to switch?
