Han-Wen (et al.):
My feeling is that Lilypond is different that GB
Agreed -- if any comparison is to be made, it should be with like products (Sibeilus, Finale, etc.).
However, it's hard to put a price on the "non-GUI-interface" factor: although Lilypond is clearly the superior typesetter (just like LaTeX is infinitely better than Word!), most people want an (significantly) easier interface for entering and manipulating the data (notes, etc). Until that's in place, the pricing for some hypothetical "wider OS X market" is almost a moot point...
But pricing for the small but valid segment of "almost-geeks" that don't mind the entry interface but DO mind the installation process is an important consideration.
Best regards, Kieren.
