Hello all,
I'm new here and apologize for awakening an old thread but it's on the correct subject. I've downloaded both Sigil and Caliber (which divided the lines in my sentences in half and the music staves show as garbled letters) and decided to see which was better for me.
I'm haven't found how to work the editor in Caliber yet, partially because the videos I've found online don't seem to show simple editing.
And yet in Reaper, Final Cut Pro or Finale, I simply type in, "How to nudge a clip to the right" or "Setting up Auxiliary and Sub-Mix buses" in YouTube and "Bam!", it's there, usually explained pretty clearly.
I've learned Photoshop, FCPX, Sibelius and Finale (music composition apps), Apple Motion and several other programs from books and/or videos.
The videos I see on Sigil look pretty good (8 part):

The designer of Calibre discusses his editor but I fell asleep:

This looks pretty good re Calibre:

I'm not sure if I should attempt to learn how to convert my newest music book into an ebook myself as even downloading Sigil seems difficult:

Someone did this last book for me in epub and mobi:

1) Are there any good vids for editing in Calibre on YouTube?
2) Any good books you would recommend on either program.
Even though I love working on computers, I'm thinking this may be out of my league, as I can't even download Sigil? (What am I missing there . . . I see no download link. It's a little late and maybe I'm missing the obvious (he says as he scratches his head.))
It's frustrating, 'cause if there was an affordable class in NYC on this, I'm sure I could learn it. But the info online is scattered and minimal.
Your thoughts?

PS: it looks like the download is on a separate page at the bottom and called "Sigil-0.9.5-Mac-Package.dmg" at the bottom of page:
https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/releases/tag/0.9.5
I'll wait for a reply before I open it, not sure if I have to use the terminal to verify anything and not quite sure what a CHECKSUM is yet :-)
