It's worth saying that MuseScore's Leland font is NOT "the font that made SCORE so beautiful" -- it is "inspired" by the characters of SCORE. (In fact, SCORE didn't use a font.)
There are some differences between the Leland font and SCORE's output, and not all of them for the better.
Also, at the time of writing, Leland only has c. 350 glyphs, compared to the 2,729 in Finale Maestro, or 3,651 in Bravura.
I know. I tried MuseScore Leland and actually it was not nicer at all, than any other of this sort. But mid 90' I used the genuin Score app, and the reasult was really fabulous! And this is what I meant:)

SCORE was an amazing technical feat, and it was certainly the best "automatic" computer engraving until Lilypond or Dorico -- but I wouldn't say it was necessarily the high water mark of engraving.
If you don't like FinaleMaestro or Bravura (the two are very similar and really only differ in weight, Bravura being heavier), then may I humbly suggest Sebastian? The flags for eighth notes are similar to those in SCORE (though they were modelled on German mid-century engraving).

BTW, there are many other fonts that are based on the SCORE look and that work in Finale.
And as they are not SMuFL they also work in Finale versions before 27.
