On that note:
One elaborate example of my experiences is found in the score and parts
of "3 Bruchstücke aus Wozzeck" by Alban Berg, see

I appreciate that you’re making available your source code, but you
could simply embed it within the PDF files (LilyPond can do that
now!). See for example
https://imslp.org/wiki/Oboe_Concerto_No.1_in_E-flat_major_(Herschel%2C_William)
(btw, I generally prefer publishing all individual parts as a single
PDF; people can then print whatever they want within it, but it makes
it *much* easier for ensembles out there in my experience,
particularly when IMSLP starts imposing a 15-second delay for all
downloads.)
I know that pdftk can add attachments to PDFs. Is that now also built
into Lilypond?
My preference for uploading parts is the other way around, i.e. the way
I did it. The parts alone for this typeset total to 311 pages. I don't
like the idea of 100 orchestra members each downloading that huge thing,
also enhanced with a few megabytes of lilypond source, and then each
selecting their own part from it. And to make things worse, orchestra
members might just not print the title page for their part, thereby
ruining the possibility to print double-sided because my carefully
crafted page turns are bogged.
I would of course never urge anybody to get an IMSLP membership :-), but
the fee is (un)reasonably small (a few collaboration actions for IMSLP
would already suffice). And if only the orchestra librarian has an IMSLP
membership, it would allow her to download all parts as a zip and then
distribute them. But in any case, 10 seconds delay would be dwarfed by
the alternative of downloading and perusing 311 pages.
