5. Also, I can limit my functionality to what I need. The big programs like LilyPond need to handle all sorts of instruments and notations. Say, guitar. That's a whole project in itself. But I'm not using guitar. I'm only using maybe 20% of the types of symbols and expressive marks that the big programs handle.
Oh, in case it wasn't clear, I don't handle typesetting at all... I'm still using Sibelius or Finale to do that. I can export via MusicXML rather than MIDI, which gets me most of the symbols on the score and organizes the structure of the music. My program is MusicXML -> MIDI, via custom algorithms. D
