Time Display
Sibelius allows choices of:
- a display on total time of piece at the end
- a display of time on each system
- etc.
For myself, I find most useful:
- a display on total time of piece at the end
- a display of time at each rehearsal mark
This is needed because sometimes we are given a requirement of how long a piece should last. (We need to compose to meet requirements!) And I can use the time to better determine where the climax should be located. (Using measures are not accurate enough.)
I'll put this at a lower priority compared with getting a good sound from playback.

Display > Play Panel already has time information.

Sorry I mean time printed on the score (and since what is on the score is already shown on the display...)
This is a feature available on Sibelius. In addition to the uses I mentioned, they also have users who compose for video, and having the time is critical to synchronization.
You can also find a time stamp on the play panel.
