Hi Bob,
SCORE is an old program and, while I think it is still being supported,
I don't think it's under active development. It's a DOS program and
there have been rumors for years of a Windows port, but no one seems to
know whether it's happening or not.
While a small number of publishers and engravers still use SCORE, most
publishers (and almost all Major Publishers) are now using Finale or
Sibelius.
SCORE is notoriously difficult to use (if you believe the people who use
it or used to use it) and even now is quite pricey, at US$750.00 It has
a reputation for fine control over placement of score elements and can
certainly produce some astonishing output configurations (most of which
no one would ever need), but I find the look of its output cold and
mechanical, even compared with Finale or Sibelius (and certainly when
compared to LilyPond).

I have been having a discussion with a small publisher who uses the
music manuscript program called Score. He says that neither Lilypond
or Finale can produce engraving that is comparable to Score. And that
most of the major music publishers in the world use Score.
Is anyone familiar with Score and what makes it superior?
