It sounds like you might find Lilypond attractive. While it is still
something of a work in progress, it does a remarkable job replicating
classical engraving style (for classical repertoire) and has a work
sequence opposite that of Score, in that the notes are entered first,
and then builds the layout around them.

I haven't seen Score output recently. It used to be vastly superior
to Finale (even done by a gifted Finale engraver). But I always found
it extremely difficult to use, and not very helpful for new
engraving, as the page layout had to be completely fixed before you
started engraving.
