For those that are not afraid of using a DSL to generate scores, Lilypond is great.
Much like using graphviz to generate workflows, you can just hop in an editor and start typing out your score, creating reusable chunks along the way. There is also a decent live-reload style editor called Frescobaldi.
I assume you mean Lilypond. It's great, but the interop with MusicXML format (the closest thing to a standard when it comes to machine-readable sheet music - and also supported by MuseScore) could use some improvement.

Do you mean lilypond instead of lilypad? As a developer I love lilypond because I can write sheet music using my regular development workflow.
Yes, thank you both for the correction.
