Today we talked about the different notion software out there that is to be available (which is heaps). Personally I like Sibelius because I am used to Sibelius and have been using it since year 8. From my experience on Sibelius it is a lot harder to get the hang of it at first but once you get it it is worth the pain. There is so many things you thought you didn't need but is there for your disposal. We also talked about flat.io which is something I also have played with. In high school, our music class was split into two classes with two different teachers. Our class used Sibelius and since our class were classically trained instrumentalist it was quite easy to understand because of our extensive knowledge of musical terms and notation. The other class were mainly contemporary singers and found flat.io more intuitive and easy to understand. I started using flat.io a lot more after high school because I no longer had access to Sibelius Ultimate :( So I turned to flat.io. It was genuinely pretty nice and a lot easier to understand. If I were to recommend a notation software which was easy to understand I would recommend flat.io. Also since it is a web browser based software, you can save your work and be able to work on it anywhere and any device including your phone. Unlike Sibelius, when in a classroom setting, a license is needed when allowing students to work on Sibelius outside of school. I was a little surprised at how many people used Musescore as a notation software. Personally I don't like Musescore, probably because I'm used to Sibelius but I can see if people used Musescore first, Sibelius wouldn't be their first choice. Below is the difference in layout between flat.io and Musecore, ft. my high school minimalist piece Flat.io: https://flat.io/score/5ebf4b5f7113791054342915-minimalism-draft?sharingKey=8e27c31900837f2cff599bcfb19f889c573a7acf5a23bf324c437973b8fd6513118614606cd1de07e7d2e1864258816929c020e987512248630f35c6cc3cf022 Sibelius File:
