Try Lilypond Music Engraving software.
It has some massive benefits:
1. Produces better looking scores than Sibelius (well..., this is my 
opinion and
I am open for debate).
2. It is non-commercial.
3. It is 100% free.
4. It is stable.
5. Also works as a plug-in, so it is possible to integrate it with other
software (if you do computer programming as well).

You can find it here: http://lilypond.org/

Cheers,

Robert Wolf

after the most recent stockholders meeting, all the Avid board of 
directors sold
significant shares of stock, clearly a co-ordinated sale.  Simultaneously,
several key executives resigned, including Vice President, CFO and CTO. 
 Avid is
short of cash and desperately trying to shore up its liquidity with reckless
cost cutting.
