Typesetting can be done by one person.  Developer(s) enrolled in such
a project will receive privately only snippets from the work (->
quotation and fair use).  Or all testing would be done by the
typesetter; not hard to do.
Sure, it's not the best way to work, and if appropriate composition
from a longer-dead composer is found, we better do it instead and wait
with Rachmaninoff
till 2013.

For this very reason i'm sure that we should limit ourselves to the
greatest composers only.  A name instantly recognizable to anyone,
even the musically ignorant, would be best: Mozart, Bach, Beethoven,
Handel.

cheers,
Janek
