Does actually any of you compose with the proceeding and the workflow this two programs offer?

Are you asking whether any of us actually composes with Sibelius or Finale, rather than just using them for notation?
@DG said:
Composing has nothing to do with audio tracks. For concert works I hardly ever produce anything but a score and parts. Obviously if I need to play a demo to someone it is easier to export a MIDI file to a sequencer and deal with that there, but a fair amount of the time a demo is not required.

I copmose (I won't correct that typo) in Sibelius with the GPO studio as a playback device. For musicians that's enough quality to let them imagine what's going on. For less-musical minds like directors I go the pain-in-the-ass route and play every line in with my breathcontroller into the sequencer (in my case Samplitude) and produce a full-fledged demo..
Could it be that this folks who make this programs just don't know what the workflow of composers are when making a partitura?

Obviously there is some truth in what you say, but I don't agree that the makers of these programs don't think about their professional users. There are many features that I would like that others wouldn't, and vice versa, but the problem lies in the fact that the higher up the professional scale one gets, the more personal the choice of features required becomes.
However, there are features that would make sense for all professionals, but it seems that they are rather difficult (read time consuming and therefore expensive) to implement. All any of us can do is continually pester said companies, so that they understand the importance.
