The launch of Sibelius significantly heated up the 'home and professional scorewriter' market, previously dominated by Finale.
Sibelius has also made inroads into the online music publishing market with its free score reader and browser plugin, Scorch, allowing users of Sibelius and Finale to securely publish their music on the internet.
