At the moment I’m still using Cubase 4 and it’s perfect for use in a small studio, but the score options leave a few things to be desired. I can’t get a decent output to PDF. The export function in Cubase doesn’t render good. You can get high resolution .gif files, but manually converting them to PDF yields layout errors such as partly blurred lines.
But! a great open source alternative is MuseScore.org!:

There’s still some manual conversion needed, but MuseScore let’s you enter far more detail to the score. Probably Sibelius is somewhat better, but rather expensive for my studio needs.
I now have the complete score (up to bar 28, that is) from my ’95 track ready to show my scoring skills! Click below for the PDF, it’s free!:
