Many publishers used to use Score, if they used computer software at all.
 Most of the NY publishers still do.  Oxford University Press just
recently switched to Sibelius, and from what I've seen of their latest
book of madrigals, it's a shame they did.  The entire book just puts me
on edge every time I look through it.  It's unnatural. :)

Purple Frog Press proudly uses Lilypond for all its music engraving.  We
are just a small-time publisher, but the comments I've received from
collegues since we switched over to lily have all been incredibly
positive.
