Probably could. The issue I've had with point-and-click editors in general
is that they add a lot more information than I necessarily want. I compose
almost exclusively for SATB voices. I have a template that--in coordination
with editing some of the internal Scheme files--allows me to input each
voice as a variable and then does the automatic part combining. I also put
bar and break information in a separate voice, so the only thing I want in
the LP output are bare music essentials of notes, slurs and ties (and maybe
a couple of other things that escape me at the moment). I've tried to use
both MuseScore and Denemo to speed up the compositional work and output a
file I can use in my template, but I've found that I spend more time
stripping their output of all the extra information that the template
doesn't need than I do if I just used my usual type and test workflow.
There may be a setting for them not to output this information. If there
is, I don't know about it.

Cheers,
Carl
