I'm trying to decide if the last sentence (referring to the scores at
the 3 links) is made in jest. It must be, right?
I should’ve written “I believe that nothing as beautiful/good as this
will ever be engraved by a machine” then, since basically it is my
belief. Maybe I exaggerated a little :-)
And you may believe differently of course.
Perhaps it becomes clear if I exaggerate in another way:
<http://imslp.org/wiki/File:PMLP03269-Bach_-_Dritter_Theil_der_Clavier_%C3%9Cbung,_bestehend_in_verschiedenen_Vorspielen_-...-_vor_die_Orgel.pdf>.
It’s not the same, but a hint of that is still present in below-linked
editions, and it’s that which can’t really be emulated by an algorithm –
for what I think.
Yours, Simon
PS: For everyone with similar likings, I can strongly recommend the
‘Performer’s Facsimiles’ series, which contains nice and affordable
reprints of e.g. the Clavierübung volumes by Seb. Bach. :-)

Hi Simon,
You forgot the quality of sheets: a (really)
digital PDF will always look better than a scanned
PDF.
I think it depends: firstly, many IMSLP scores are on
a level of typographical quality which – I’m sorry –
Lilypond might never reach.
+1000
Why do use LilyPond then?
Or: Doesn't your appreciation need a more specific context?
Like: LilyPond might never reach [that] level of typographical
quality *without human tweaking*.
If you’re interested, have a close look at
<http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.9_%28Mahler,_Gustav%29> (UE,
1912) or
<http://imslp.org/wiki/File:PMLP106915-Mendelssohn_op.79_Sechs_Sprueche.pdf>
and
<http://imslp.org/wiki/3_Motets,_Op.69_%28Mendelssohn,_Felix%29>
(Peters, perhaps around 1900?). Nothing the likes of this will
ever be engraved by a machine.
Yours, Simon
