I turned on my camera while I was editing some music files for my church job. Take a peek into how I input a hymn using Sibelius software.

Cheers!

OK. Before I even watch this thing I have to HIGHLY recommend you drop everything and watch this hilarious, sadly too accurate review of Sibelius. https://youtu.be/dKx1wnXClcI Secondly I was also “enjoying” Siblast weekend, transcribing and arranging something a local priest seems to have made up on the spot. All’s I can say is I feel for you brother.

Pretty amazing that it was that fast to type it in from scratch. Personally I expect I could still do it faster (at least in this case) via a image-processing program, but not by much!

Interesting! And quite a bit of a service, in churches over here, you simply get the sheet with all the verses and it woulld simply be announced: "but we'll be only singing verses 1 and 4". Of course, there's always somebody who gets it wrong then 😉

Have a look at MuseScore. It's similarly capable and is open source and for free. And the UI design was recently taken over by Tantacrul, the guy who made the famous harsh reviews of both Sibelius (as mentioned by James above) and a previous version of MuseScore.

Recently switched from Finale to Sibelius and I'm really satisfied!

Jeez, Doug, you should go down the Zappa rabbit hole. One of the twentieth century’s greatest composers. ‘Blessed Relief’ or ‘Peaches En Regalia’. Stunning compositions. Really. Truly. Definitely. Love what you’re doing.
