Hi Joseph,
Another third-party view .... What makes Finale and Sibelius nice in
many situations is that they are not just notation tools but
_composition_ tools, which allow you to enter into a dialogue between
notation, playback and performance. As a result, it tends to smooth
the
passage between experimental and sketching stages of composition and
producing the final score. Lilypond is more suitable for a case where
you already know precisely what you want to notate.
Good point.
I do *all* of my composition with paper and pen(cil), and only use
the computer for engraving -- therefore, none of the [undeniable]
benefits you mention are applicable to me (i.e., my compositional
process).
Cheers,
Kieren.
