This topic is not that easy, as expresses the numerous replies showing the different concerns of everyone.

This is a different approach than the "pay-per-feature/fix".

I think MuseScore funding relies (mainly?) on musescore.com "Pro Account", providing an enhanced version of musescore.com storage site for scores. http://musescore.com/upgrade IIRC lasconic (Nicolas Froment) said the 3 main developers (Werner Schweer, Thomas Bonte and himself) are now working full-time on MuseScore. Actually I planned to speak with them about that point at FOSDEM. Does someone have some specific questions I could ask? I'd say also that a project like "Open Goldberg" is not bad for MuseScore. I don't know if they earn a lot of money from it but at least it brings MuseScore a nice visibility. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/293573191/open-goldberg-variations-setting-bach-free AFAIK LilyPond has not been "involved" in such kind of projects.
