'''SCORE''' is a [[scorewriter]] program, written in [[FORTRAN]] for [[MS-DOS]] by [[Stanford University]] Professor [[Leland Smith]] (1925–2013) with a reputation for producing very high-quality results.<ref name="holab">{{cite web |last1=Rothman |first1=Philip |title=Bill Holab on Leland Smith and SCORE |url=https://www.scoringnotes.com/news/bill-holab-on-leland-smith-and-score/ |date=28 December 2013 |website=Scoring Notes |accessdate=2 December 2018}}</ref> It was widely used in [[engraving (music)|engraving]] during the 1980s and 1990s and continues to have a small, dedicated following of engravers, many of whom hold the program in high regard due to its ability to position symbols precisely on the page. Several publications set using SCORE have earned Paul Revere and German Musikpresse engraving awards.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Selfridge-Field |first1=Eleanor |title=Beyond MIDI: The Handbook of Musical Codes |date=1997 |publisher=MIT Press |location=Massachusetts |isbn=978-0262193948 |page=252 |edition=First}}</ref>
