Technology has finally settled in many areas so you can actually get work done.

I wish I could have all those hours from almost 30 years ago when I was stuck in owner’s manuals trying to do scores. My handwriting is not legible but I am very fast on the computer. It’s a wonderful world now.

I might be getting back into notation and Sibelius would be my candidate. iItried Finale back in the 90s and it was mind-blowingly complicated.

It might have been resolved – not sure. Back in 2012, Avid laid off the original Sibelius team and closed the London office. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibelius_Software

Back then users were concerned if Avid was going to continue support for the long term. I don’t know the current state of affairs.

For me, I have been using Sibelius successfully for several years now and very productive with it. I will continue using it as long as I can. I love it.

I thought that was resolved. Or are you referring to Avid perhaps crashing down and taking everything with it?
