Would MuseScore work for professional band worksheets/exercises?
I'm a band director and I am trying to create professional looking worksheets/exercises to use for my band. Would MuseScore be a tool that I should look at for creating these worksheets? For example, I would like to make a series of articulation worksheets that need room for text, staff, etc. Does anybody have on thoughts on whether MuseScore would work or if another program would be preferable? Thanks!

Yes it would be excellent. Do a little experimenting, and read https://musescore.org/en/handbook

Something like the attache file, maybe? (Note that, because it's for clarinet, if you press "Play" it will sound horrible. This is a problem that hasn't been fixed yet. But it looks good, which is what matters.)
A quick search of musescore.com finds similar examples. Apparently using MuseScore for this is pretty common:

Also, if you are writing worksheets/exercises to be played ensemble, individual parts can be easily extracted from the full score.

I use MuseScore for all my scores, for choir, orchestra, music theory, etc. The quality is great!

Same here. And if I can't write everything I want into a mscz file (a MuseScore standard file), I take snapshots of some bars in a MuseScore window and copy to a text document (Word, OpenOffice, PowerPoint...). Select the Camera tool and off you go. There are excellent options:

I assume you mean LibreOffice when you say OpenOffice, right? ;-) (If you didn't, then you should have: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2977112/software-productivity/why-you-sh…)

Yes, I use LibreOffice on my personal computer, OpenOffice on some other computers, computers that I'm not responsible for.
