=item Score, http://www.ymusic.com/Score

Werner Lemberg <sx0005@sx2.hrz.uni-dortmund.de>
writes to me: I consider SCORE as the best program for
typesetting classical music. [..]  the price is quite high (about US$
1000) [..]  It has a graphical interface but to get all out of the
program you have to learn a 400 page manual almost by heart because
you'll change most features by inputting parameters (up to 20 for some
items) on a command line. Expect three months to master SCORE :-)
