I agree. I worked with SCORE long time ago (1993 it was), and found the interface cumbersome. I always wanted something like Lily, and when I went back to setting scores (as a hobbyist) a few years ago, I was so happy Lily exists! The most important point to make before a SCORE user is probably the staling of SCORE development. I never understood how a professor wanted to make money, _instead of_ passing his knowledge to others. Strange culture. Contrary to Han-Wen, I don´t believe that the tweaking in Lily is too cumbersome (i.e. not direct enough). I believe that many SCORE users would be glad to have less to tweak in a single piece, but have the option to set up global tweakings. Much like LaTeX style files. The biggest obstacle to SCORE users probably is the fast changing syntax. They _need_ a reliable format. Ciao, Dscho
