I think Mark wanted to indicate that the *original* Chopin study in 
Paderewski's (annotated?) edition is even more challenging.
However, when I last looked into it I recall concluding that the 
Paderewski edition had *not* been engraved with LilyPond ;-) And this 
was the question my link referred to: seeing LilyPond deal with complex 
piano music.

Of course it lacks these. Actually this *is* the point about the 
example, how awesome it is without any engraving tweaks.

Well, of course this example is especially challenging due to its 
non-standard beaming, and the Scheme code basically deals with that. One 
should stress the fact that -- all programmer's sophistication 
notwithstanding -- the actual layout decisions are purely automatic.

Maybe he's watching this ;-)
