Presumably someone will generate a set of PDFs and put them on IMSLP.
And people who are not prepared to read the LilyPond sources - they just
want the printed score - will get those, and would be wise to do so,
since someone malicious could generate an altered version the the
LilyPond sources to do bad things. While LilyPond is a specialized
interest thing malicious files are not going to happen, except by
pranksters, but it is something to bear in mind. (I hate to sound a note
of caution).
