Well, there's nothing preventing you from doing that in Sibelius as well.

You can enter notes, or you can use my favorite method, hook up a MIDI keyboard and Sibelius has a setting that will actually allow you to play in realtime and record to noatation - but with a great little twist, you don't have to play in rigid time, yet the program is intelligent enough to sort all that out anyway, automatically. Really cool, if I hesitate while playing in the line, waiting on inspiration, or decision, or whatever, the doggone thing somehow knows that and works around it, still printing a near perfect chart of what I wanted rather than what I played, rhythmically speaking.


There are lots of ways to use the program, just as with pgmusic products, it takes some time to learn a good program and find out what parts of it can be used in your intended workflow as well as diswcovering some new tricks that I hadn't thought about at all along the way, incorporating a bit of this and that to get to the end result.
