]]> This is sort of an informational post for those who might not be clued in. Both Finale and Sibelius have announced new versions in the last few weeks. I had been a Finale user for years and switched to Sibelius sometime a few years ago, with Sibelius 4. One thing that had always frustrated me about Sibelius is its handling of slurs. Much as I loved Sibelius, I had to admit Finale’s handling of slurs was always better and top-notch. This seems to be fixed in Sibelius 6, and the demonstration on Sibelius’s website suggests a similar approach to Finale, with perhaps a few improvements tossed in. The new Sibelius feature called Magnetic Layout looks superb too. I am looking forward to this update!
