There's probably been stuff posted on this, but thought I would start a new thread anyway.

My biggest problem that I've had with notating (I use Sibelius) is the playback of the notes, especially as I learn orchestration right now.

What I have started to do is go midi-notation (mockup and than notate), but know that many composers go the opposite direction, so what do you guys think about my...um...predicament
