Composition software

[Chris71]

Does anyone on here work with composition software?

I'm asking on behalf of my OH who's looking at swapping from Finale to Sibelius from composition and arranging. From my (very limited knowledge) it sounds like a switch worth making?

I spend most of my working life on compostion software.

Sibelius is considered to be much better than Finale amongst my peers.

Having said that, I use Performer - but only because I have for 20 years and to change now would short circuit my brain (and all my shortcuts would stop working).

The basic functions seem to work okay on Finale, but the synthesiser (for want of a better description) is certainly a bit quaint!
