Multi-Bar Rests
It is perhaps worth noting that the reason I was forced to use Sibelius for part-preparation is due to the fact that this software does not display multi-bar rests, so you could end up with a whole page of empty bars on a part, which even for amateur ensembles isn't ideal.
One thing you do have better than Sibelius is export XML files.
I wanted to post my score to a Finale user from Sibelius, but can you believe that you can only import XML and not export without an add-on piece of software ?
I think that all music software should have import and export XML as standard now, as it's a great way of bridging sofware in a way that midi cannot.
