I don't think I made any kind of assessment that you might compare your own to. I made a general statement about the quality of engraving I encounter on the free score sites and did not say anything about any particular program. Indeed, I can't say I have a specific impression about any of these programs -- I just have a more general feeling that what I've seen is not impressive. I'm particularly unimpressed with the stiff look of Lilypond output, which reminds me of Finale from the days of Petrucci. I also think it's quite interesting that most of the activity creating new notation apps is coming from parts of the world where Finale and Sibelius are very expensive. The conclusion seems quite obvious to me. -- David W.
