Of course, if you can buy Finale or Sibelius, you can also buy  
FontLab. Otherwise I'd suggest FontForge (open source): http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

I don't think Finale's or Sibelius' output will look as good as  
LilyPond's, even with the same font.
And I wouldn't put a lot of open source effort into supporting  
commercial apps, but that's your decision.
