Re: Sheet music

Sibelius is what I used to use to compose sheet music.
For most composers, it would be a case of manipulating importing MIDI files. The notation software will do the pitch, note length, tempo and time signature transcribing etc.
The user would then have to tidy it up, put in the key signature etc. drag or re-label a few rogue notes here and there and then repeat for the next instrument, then do all the performance dynamics etc.
The truth of the matter is probably that score-writing can be a lot of work. As creative artists, we move from inception to output as quickly as possible. Few artists will want to 'document' this.
(I haven't been about for a while, though I do maintain an interest and pop in from time to time...)
Hope you're all well!
