That ability would seem to indicate more possibilities. The person I
spoke to who is one of the publishers listed on the Wikipedia page, said
that the output of both Finale and Lilypond was unacceptable for a
professional publisher. But he did say that the output of Finale could
somehow be manipulated by Score. I don't quite understand how that could
be done but this is what he said.
