I once saw a program handling SCORE files which was not from the original 
SCORE developer (I think it was something to output PostScript), and it 
said that the whole format is made up of IEEE format binary floats. That 
should help, together with examples.

Anyway, I am certain that people willing to input into SCORE will *love* 
LilyPond, since it has a more intuitive syntax, and the output quality is 
similar, if not better.
