I can't say I've used Finale, but I've seen output from it. The output
from Lilypond is better. Maybe this was because of some setting in
Finale, but I doubt it.
If you go ahead with this project, consider using lilypond as a
back-end.

I've read your page and I wish you good luck with your ambitious
project.

Here are some other projects that you don't mention on your page, so I
thought I'd mention them. (All of these work in Linux)

Rosegarden: very old project, being reengineered for kde3
http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/

NoteEdit: seems to be the most featureful
http://tan.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html

Brahms: main focus on midi stuff
http://brahms.sourceforge.net/

MuX2d: not that featureful yet, musixtex front-end
http://mux2d.sourceforge.net/

Denemo: not that featureful yet, lilypond front-end
http://denemo.sourceforge.net/

Gscore: not that much at all yet
http://www.gscore.org/

So there are quite a few projects in this area.
