People have made styles and fonts for Finale and Sibelius that mimic
quite closely Henle Verlag and Barenreiter. But it's a huge amount of
work, and only because they like it, not for submission.
Surely Schott is not expecting you to create a complete house style in
an entirely different program. Something is wrong if so.
And, Schott will own the copyright and you will earn a pittance. Is it
really worth it? There are so many ways to self publish now. If you do
have an especially favorable financial deal with Schott you may have to
ditch all your fine work and reset in Finale or Sibelius, whatever.
Some time ago Urs Liska started a sort of campaign drive to convince
major publishers to at least accept Lilypond, if not convert to it. But
sadly that did not seem to gain any traction.

I did that once for a very small company : for our own performance needs, I had
already typeset the score we were to play from their original, handwritten by
the composer, in the first place.
