This is more a learning curve issue though than one of functionality however, and with time the new system will probably be just as easy to use as the old. I love Notion's tabbed layout, and that of Maestro Composer as well, whereas the ribbon in Sibelius 7 significantly slowed me down at first. In general I wish that instead of going down this route Sibelius and other programs had taken a proverbial cue from programs such like Notion 3 and Maestro Composer.
Making drammatic changes like that can really mess with a person's workflow, especially when they have been used to doing things with the old system for so long. This continues once in the main editor window when you notice that some significant changes have been made by replacing the old style menus with a new interface similar to the ribbon found in Microsoft Office. The Sibelius 7 interface continues to be one of the more eye catching of all of the major music notation software programs and the new launchpad for Sibelius 7 puts all of the available templates and possibilities right up front, but diverting from previous versions a bit the new interface might throw existing users for a loop. Is Sibelius 7 worth the price of admission? Many would say that it has always been more user friendly than its competitors, but Sibelius 7 brings to the performance some new additions that some might think threaten to upset the cart. Sibelius 7 continues its tradition as a very robust, feature packed music notation system for the PC and Mac.
