I'm a Sibelius user myself, and although I've played with Finale a few times, I really have a hard time getting it to do what I want it to do. I'm also fortunate in that at my school district I have access to a Yamaha MM8 keyboard and they also gave me a copy of Cubase 4AI, which I am slowly learning more about. Eventually I hope to be able to compose more efficiently using tools like this. Thank God for Youtube tutorials! Thanks for sharing your process with us, John!

I just recently had a bad experience with music compositions software. We do not get along. I couldn't find where the stupid glissando was! (the software was MuseScore, and I am a proud Linux user, but nobody seems to care) And, oh yeah, I’m sticking with pencil and blank manuscript paper.
