I should also have mentioned that there was a thread with a title like
this on rec.music.theory not long ago. I put pointers to the actual
pdf's being discussed on my blog
<http://www.laymusic.org/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/2005/08/14#050814-comparison>.
The programs compared don't include any of the ABC family, unless you
count lilypond, but there are some interesting points made.
