I use musescore too, and I can relate with how tedious it can be. I appreciate any insights you might have! If IвЂ™m used to using Musescore, would Finale PrintMusic or Sibelius First really offer anything dramatically better? Would either of them be worth buying so I can have the scanning capabilities? Or are there other less expensive programs that can give me just the scanning abilities so I can import that music into Musescore to edit? IвЂ™m very interested in the scanning abilities of Finale and Sibelius to scan in printed music to then be able to edit it, but again, the reviews I read about those scanning abilities sound like it doesnвЂ™t work very well and a lot of time is needed to clean up the music after itвЂ™s scanned in. Does anyone have experience with Musescore and these other programs to compare them for me? IвЂ™m mostly trying to figure out if Finale or Sibelius would make note entry any faster somehow. I am writing just simple arrangements for harpвЂ“just solos or maybe a flute/harp duet occasionally. I hear such conflicting reviews about each, so IвЂ™m having a hard time deciding which one might be better, but in my searching for reviews, IвЂ™m beginning to wonder if Musescore does everything I already need. IвЂ™m particularly looking at Finale PrintMusic or Sibelius First. I currently use Musescore which IвЂ™ve become rather accustomed to, but I canвЂ™t help wonder if another program would make note entry any less tedious. IвЂ™m looking for opinions about music composition softwareвЂ¦
