If I remember right then there is a free print-engine for SCORE. I think it's
not so easy to find out, what possibilities exist to "free-print" a given
source (e.g. using some conversion tool).

For some composers there is more than one scheme (e.g. Vivaldi[*]); for some works
there are "invalid" Opus numbers (e.g. Mozart's Opus 70, Duos for two violins);
.... It's hard work to invent a numbering scheme for the works of a composer
- nothing simply to be done on the next weekend.
Sometimes you've luck and find out that there exists an accepted numbering scheme.
But then it's often hard to really get and to get it in simple way useable by
anyone who typesets music.
