We met him the other day, after we ran the ad in NeXTWORLD announcing
(ahem) Music Scribe.  We did an obviously incomplete name search in a hurry
to make the ad deadline, and chose the name "Score" for our product.
Needless to say, we have already changed the name to "Music Scribe", with
great apologies to the owner of the "Score" namd, Leland Smith of Stanford.
His software, Score, does indeed run on DOS, and as far as I know does not
run under UNIX or the NeXT.  It is a very impressive piece of work, highly
respected in the music notation industry.

As for Music Scribe, it is true that it lacks some features for
modern music, including chords.  See related posting for some more
information about that.
