To put this into perspective:
I need a program for music scoring. Looking into what is available
gives me Sibelius and Rosegarden.
On Windows Sibelius installs fine and I am able to get on with
writing my score.
I gave up on Rosegarden after a week or so of trying to get it to
work.
If I were a musician relying on a product for my livelihood, which
would I choose?
