+1, speaking as a composer who composes in MuseScore for the convenience of audio feedback, then transcribes the music by hand into my LilyPond template to get the output I want. To the question about what to call it, I think "Our Purpose" is perhaps what you're wanting. As to what to say, The result is a program that creates printed music more closely resembling and following the best traditions of classical music engraving. This allows composers, transcribers and publishers to create publication-quality music---beautiful music---without having to spend as much time fighting the software's default settings.
