Hi all,
<disclaimer>this is more or less hypothetical and nothing to be excited
about</disclaimer>.
I realize that I don't have a real idea about the size of our community,
and particularly regarding the availability of music typesetters who
could offer reliably continuous engraving services.
If I should be asked to engrave a big score (as fast as possible) in a
commercial context and wouldn't want to reply "well, I will ask around
and see how many people I can get together", what could I say? Would it
be realistic to say that we could (at any time) provide a team of 10
quailfied engravers working full time on a project? Or 15-20 working
half time?
And what if it were a request for continuous work? Is it realistic to
say there are always enough engravers at hand to accept work?
I feel that one aspect that makes publishers hesitate to consider
LilyPond is exactly this question: They know that there will always be a
sufficient number of available and qualified Finale and Sibelius users,
and presumably even Score users, but they don't have an idea about this
with LilyPond.
Any opinions or estimates?
Urs
