I think it's well worth the effort. MuseScore is fully up to the job,
according to several musicians and composers I know (even ones using
it on Windows). They even use it as a composition tool, because it
plays back MIDI!

Send them some MuseScore output (which is actually Lilypond output,
which is the best music typesetting that exists) and see what their
problem with it is?
