I have experience mostly with Sibelius and Finale, and since I switched to 
Ubuntu recently, also with MuseScore. I wouldn’t recommend Finale at all. It 
requires the most manual tweaks of all three. If you’re used to Lilypond, I 
think you would be very irritated ;-). Sibelius is in general an excellent 
choice (except for its disenchanting Opus font): the things that it gets wrong 
in terms of spacing can be easily and quickly corrected with two clicks. I read 
that even that’s been automated in the most recent version, so the layout is 
probably very good by default. More accidental rules, like Lilypond has, is 
something I really miss in Sibelius.
