SCORE is currently available for Windows systems that can run DOS (so it may
not work under Windows 7 -- I don't know one way or another).

You can get SCORE here:

 http://www.scoremus.com/

Check out Products.  Current cost is $300.

You can find some samples of SCORE usage here:

Based on what I've read, the nicest thing about SCORE is that one can have
infinite control over spacing of particular objects.

Based on what I've seen, I couldn't stand to use the SCORE input format --
LilyPond is vastly superior.

I guess there are still a few places where we can't make LilyPond do the
right thing; as far as I'm concerned that's the only place where it would be
superior to use SCORE.

But I find LilyPond to be far superior.

HTH,
