What "other tool"? Hand-engraving with metal punch ca. 1852-1952? Because that’s the standard we’re measuring against by comparing to IMSLP. No cross-platform computer application I know of — proprietary or open source — has better output than Lilypond. In fact, even with just a basic stylesheet applied to it, my musical theatre Piano/Conductor scores rival (and in most cases surpass) what the big publishing houses (e.g., Warner-Chappell) put out for sale. This is one of the reasons I laud Urs’s attempt to get some of those houses to use Lilypond: it would actually improve their current output!
