That's funny. I always thought the one defining positive
attribute of SCORE was that you *could do anything* imaginable (music notation-wise)
with it. The drawback is that you *have to do everything* manually, one
note at a time...requires a lot more thinking, deciding. Whereas Lilypond has the best of both worlds - very
good results automatically, plus all the flexibility to do crazy stuff.
