Agreed--Sibelius 2 is a big improvement over Sibelius 1.4. Finale 2003 claims to be much easier to use than 2002, but I haven't seen it in action.

If only these products had a common file format, we might be able to avoid this whole business of "x is better than y". You'd just pick whichever one best suited your working style. Maybe Music XML is the answer, but boy, those files get huge fast!

But if there were a common file format, we might not have to drop $100+ ever year to stay current with the latest and greatest out of fear of being incompatible with more recent releases.

Just the grousing of an old man, forgive me.
