Quite satisfied. Aside from a couple of hitches in getting Sibelius installed and registered, this was an excellent purchase. Though the box claims the DVD came with version 5.1, it was actually v5.0 that was installed. This caused a couple of problems on my Mac running Leopard, but once I had figured that out, the Sibelius people were helpful in restoring my ability to save. After having used a competing product for many years, I am very happy with the output of this program and wish that I had switched sooner.
Great product, but beware!!!: This is not for you if you have Sibelius 4. Since I made the mistake, it's worth warning others not to do so.
This is not an upgrade if you are a Sibelius 4 Professional Edition user!!! This might be obvious, but not for people like me who live in South America.
I love Sibelius 5 Professional. Great product, even if you love your Finale or any other program. This new edition is even better, because it allows for VST, DXi, and many other useful additions. Comes with a nice set of sounds from Garritan, but it doesn't include the full Garritan Personal Orchestra, as another product does.
