i don't find this to be a bad thing. it may be that score **should**
concentrate on a higher end "market" and let finale and sibelius shoot
it out in the lower realm of notation programmes.
It *is* a bad thing, and the evidence of that is that Score does not
have a Windows version and that its last update was 7 years ago.
i don't see that the two points are related.

everything is individually definable/moveable.
As a class of objects, or just one by one? That is, could you adjust
all or a group of the dynamics in a single staff with one adjustment?
Or all of a particular articulation throughout an entire piece?
you can search and replace, so i would guess that specific
positioning of a specific articulation could be replaced easily.
Possible does not mean doable.
well, as i said, i'm no expert, i looked at the programme with
someone for around 2 hours. if you have any more questions it might
be best to ask on the score forum.
And the reason there's no interference from the marketing department
is because there *isn't* any marketing department. You don't seem to
think this is a problem, but I really *do* see it as a major problem.
Without a large user base, there's no money for development.
Score is the perfect historical example of this fact.
you seems to assume that score intended from the start to have a
large market. this may not have been the case. what you as a
non-user think the score developer or community should do is possibly
of interest to them. you could ask on the score forum to find out.

I reviewed the first of those afterwards, and they all seem like
utilities that get you around the deficiencies caused by a
page-based paradigm. I didn't see much of anything that really
seemed like it offered anything but features that should be built
into Score by default, without assistance.
yes, but i would believe that these would be incorporated into the
next version.
