     I'm also curious to hear from anyone who has had experience using 
Score, and comparing to Lilypond output.  There are some wacky
examples of Score output at:
http://www.scoremus.com/

(especially that deer standing on the staff!  There needs to be an
Animal_engraver in lilypond!)

After seeing that output, I'm curious: has anybody played around in Lilypond 
with making the staff curve around (like forming a circle, or 
just bending down the page or something)?  I'd like to be able to do that.

Best,
Jonathan
