I guess Rick is right. 
And i totally agree with Orm, especially about the time score for 
computer music performances.
And, yes i would considering, an integration with cm and an existing 
graphical tool.

The Graphical considerations had probably to do with my personal
preferences. Though, i might be wrong, Score has been much more popular
amongst publishers than Finale, while the second has been certainly
preferred by composers.

[OFF TOPICS (?)] 
Publishers are reducing every day more and more the
number of contemporary music scores published. Amongst other things this
is due to the fact that, being those score most of the time very
complex, the only program that have a real profesional look and output 
are too complicate...- for instance i think Universal used (and uses?) 
Score-. This is something that maybe should be considered in the future 
development of cm...of course a part output quality
