- "I never thought I would abandon pen and ink, but Sibelius's quality, speed
- and ease of use have completely won me over.
-
- For me it is the ideal way to put music on paper: user-friendly to the non-
- technological musician, capable of producing beautifully clear, elegant
- scores and parts, forgiving if you make a mistake, flexible and versatile.
- The manual, thankfully, is even written in plain English."
