Yeah, that's great!

I'm far for being an expert in music engraving but as a musician
I have to play on so many scores that do not feel "pleasant" to read.
I think it is due to these largely used softwares and to these
publishers that do not seem to consider their customers and do not take
care of the "beauty" of the scores they produce.

So it's always good news to hear that some people still think at
the ones who will read their scores and do nice engraving
(and even better if they are using LilyPond to this).


@Reinhold:
Did you contact the author?

Do you know if he has planned to provide this score on a site like
Mutopia or IMSLP?
That would be even *more* "PERFECT"!  ;)
(and by the same way we would be able to see this perfect score)...

Yes, Kudos.
Let's hope LilyPond's engraving quality will be more and more
recognized, LilyPond more and more used (and also by some "well-known"
music publishers), so musicians would have more quality scores!

Thanks everybody,
Xavier
