3. Software Ratios by State
The bar lengths in this graph are derived from the values in the 'Sib/Fin' column of the State Summaries chart. For example, the value in the Vermont 'Sib/Fin' position of the State Summaries chart is 3.00, so the Vermont bar length in this graph registers at '3' on the horizontal axis. This indicates that Sibelius has a usage that is 3 times that of Finale in Vermont. As a comparison, the Wyoming 'Sib/Fin' position in the State Summaries chart contains a value of 0.33. Therefore, the bar length in this graph registers at 0.33 on the horizontal axis. This tells us that the inverse is true for Wyoming - that Sibelius has 1/3 the usage compared to Finale.
States that register at '1' on the horizontal axis (reading downwards, Connecticut through Rhode Island) make use of the two applications at equal levels.
The values in this graph are presented as a continuum, from larger values reading downwards to smaller values, rather than in alphabetical order by state. This allows for visually easier comparisons between states with similar numerical values.
