The best I have seen is the newest version of Sibelius/Photoscore. A typical 2 page part for a church orchestra chart takes me about half an hour to scan, correct scanning errors, transpose, edit and print. I do a bunch of it and that is my BEST time.ZNC Dandy wrote:scan the original part in and just have it do do what I ask automatically. Is there any program that does this out there?
Copying parts from one score to another in Finale is CRAP

I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Amen Brother! Preach on! I used an early version of Finale at church and had an early version of Sibelius at home for about 6 months. I finally told the church I would do all my score work at home, thank you! For a time Finale had the edge over Sibelius in engraving quality but I don't think so anymore, and Sibelius is so much more intuitive.Chuck(G) wrote:As far as pasting new parts, I do this all of the time when I'm changing instruments. Create the new instrument, triple click, then Ctrl-X the old, then Ctrl-V paste onto the new instrument.
What I like about Sibelius over Finale, is that Sibelius is largely non-modal, where with Finale, I've got to figure out the right mode to do what I want.
