![]() It's an approach you have to get used to.ĥ.) In Sibelius, the num pad is your bff. Likewise, if you doubled the first note in finale, it would push the second note over, but since in Sibelius the second note is locked to its position in the measure, then doubling the first note means you "write over" the second, and it disappears. In Sibelius, if you make the first note an eighth note, then nothing happens to the second: Sibelius inserts an eighth rest so that the second note remains put (resulting in eighth note + eighth rest + quarter). ![]() (I do still prefer the way Finale works with voices though).Ĥ.) Notes are sort of locked to their position in the measure, whereas in finale they can sort of "float around." So like, on finale, if you have quarter + quarter, and you change the first note to an eighth note, the next note shifts over and you end up with eighth + quarter. Most of these things were multi-click processes in Finale. Want to double the line in thirds? Just press 3. Want to perform a diatonic transposition? Just press the up or down arrow. Want to repeat the whole measure? Just press R. Like, if you click and highlight a measure (or a portion of a measure), you can do a whole bunch of things to it with just a click of a single button. It'll put it in the closest octave to the the precious pitch, then you can adjust octaves by ctr + arrow.ģ.) Sibelius has a lot of really easy input options that I like over Finale. In Sibelius, you start by pressing N, then you select a note value via the num pad, then you press a pitch name via the keyboard. In Sibelius, it's all about selecting the notes and changing attributes assigned to it, whereas finale is all about a bunch of different objects that you sorta glue together.Ģ.) Note input via the computer keyboard is the big adjustment I had to make. But in Sibelius, you just select the note and toggle the staccato button to off. To delete it in finale, you select the articulation tool, select the little handle of the articulation, then press delete. In Sibelius, you select the note first and you toggle the "staccato" button to "on" (for more advanced articulations, you use your num pad to go to the page with all the articulations). So like, if you want an accent in Finale, you select the articulation tool, you aim your mouse at the note you want, you click, and uou select the articulation you want. ![]() Likewise, articulation markings are more like "attributes" you lay into individual notes rather than like objects you drag around like in Finale. Here's my experience.ġ.) Whereas expression marks in finale are treated as like objects, Sibelius treats them as text that you just type into the score. ![]()
