Score can do stuff like having the staves in a spiral. Think of
George Crumb -- if he used any computer engraver, it would be
score. Score is also not free: it's not open source, and IIRC it
costs $500 or more.
I only saw it briefly a few years ago. I think our fonts are
better, but score could clearly do more wacky things. I believe
our input format is much easier, though.
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.
I can't speak to what major music publishers use.
Cheers,
