Score Writers Comparison

Here are some comparisons with Musescore and Finale and Sibelius. All of these programs are capable of being used to create publication-quality music scores. In these comparisons we concentrate on how much effort goes into doing this. Denemo is nothing like a drawing program, it has no fancy icons to drag and drop; instead it offers methods for entering music quickly, and even musically, into a score and printing it out ready for the most discerning performer to read from with ease.

Also should be mentioned Frescobaldi, Schikkers and Laborejo which use LilyPond to typeset the music.
