The `better' does not always coincide with `the most used', and vice versa. These are orthogonal qualities. Human beings are not that logical. Vulcanians are. > I can assure you that no professional engraver will use > something that has to be engraved through a command > line! The real issue is: what time does it take to write the score with LilyPond and Finale? IMHO tap tap tap is a lot faster than clic clic clic. Maybe the learning curve of LilyPond is longer (I don't know), but having regular text source code and command line are *features*, not drawbacks, because they make typesetting a lot faster, and reusing a lot easier. But I'm no professional engraver, I cannot assume too much about the importance of time for someone making money in typesetting scores (ironic smiley here).
