If I recall, this all came about because a (false) rumor was being
spread about Finale being ported to Linux, and this was perceived as a
threat to the future success of NoteEdit.
I doubt it's a KDE issue, either, since Rosegarden (the *other* score
editor) is also a KDE application.

I use Rosegarden extensively for score editing.
