My overall impression is that they are primarily interested in: * Strict adherence to their publisher style Does that include positions of beams and shapes of slurs? That would be difficult, but if they just want their font, thicknesses, marking styles etc it should be totally doable. For example, i think it would be quite possible to make a LilyPond stylesheet for Barbershop music, according to these standards (sorry for long link): http://www.google.pl/url?sa=trct=jq=esrc=ssource=webcd=1cad=rjaved=0CCMQFjAAurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.barbershop.org%2Fdocument-center%2Fcategory%2F18-arrangement-notation-forms.html%3Fdownload%3D85%253Anotating-barbershop-arrangementsei=x1tMUNyQEs6OswbPw4HIAgusg=AFQjCNGRknvCMZl3cim_6N01VdNkmXQrbAsig2=d0QH9PWYQeE4ls_gTimL7Q * Delivering printed parts on a low budget. That's something we could do. cheers, janek ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

My overall impression is that they are primarily interested in: * Strict adherence to their publisher style * Delivering printed parts on a low budget. Once the edition is printed, there is little reason to keep the files around, and in some cases (due to editing PS output), it's not useful at all. Music publishers (at least a few years ago) are still very much focused on putting ink on dead trees in large quantities in the most uniform and cost-efficient way possible, a business model which makes ever less sense in the digital age. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - han...@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
