I remember back in the 90's when studying for my Music A-Level you essentially had two choices for notation - Finale if you were on a PC, and Sibelius if you had an Acorn.
For that reason, the music department at my school had Acorn Archimedes and then Acorn RiscPC machines.
Sibelius was the all around better piece of software - but I "only" had a windows PC at home, so it was Finale or nothing.
