Score can do stuff like having the staves in a spiral.  Think of
George Crumb -- if he used any computer engraver, it would be
score.  Score is also not free: it's not open source, and IIRC it
costs $500 or more.

I only saw it briefly a few years ago.  I think our fonts are
better, but score could clearly do more wacky things.  I believe
our input format is much easier, though.

I can't speak to what major music publishers use.
