Re: Is Sibelius really as bad as this?

With the edition-engraver, I would offer (based on a fair bit of experience 
now) that *creating* tweaks in Lilypond are within a small percentage, 
time-wise, of *creating* tweaks in Sibelius or Finale. 

Unfortunately, “creating tweaks” in Sibelius is essentially indistinguishable 
from “executing tweaks”, whereas in Lilypond we require recompilation, and that 
time can increase the gap significantly, depending on the size of the score 
you’re dealing with. [n.b., The GridLY project of Urs et al. might mitigate 
this.] 

Cheers,
Kieren.
