In this case the printed score from which I typeset the example with
LilyPond and someone else with Finale 2008.

Ah, I see, you are able to talk about "Enter the plain music, correctly
assign voices and don't apply any manual corrections" in the context of
Finale - with many such programs you cannot certain markings or text
without manually positioning it, it just floats at the end of the mouse
pointer until you click.


Without wishing to bias any result, I have to say that Sibelius is _appalling_ at placing lyrics by default.
