This is indeed true... The companies do their own engraving. However Every publisher accepts Finale... Hal Lennorad for example still does not accpet Sibelius accross the board on all their projects... in my own dealings with them.... This is funny seeing as how they also have promoted Sibelius at different times. I don't have it on Paper however.. just my own experience here. Finale is accepted accross the board.

I have been a strong Finale User and I've also been to demonstration worshops on Sibelius. I honestly can say that Sibelius is not any eaiser to use than finale... It works much the same way.. A few tasks are easier on it.. but then a few tasks are easier on Finale. You have more customization options with Finale but I just don't see the point in me learning a brand new program (yeah.. you have to learn Sibelius) when I can do the same things in Finale... Download the demos and see which one you like the best.. but the serious publish houses still use Finale all the way.
