Of course. So the point is simply, how much resource do/can we [the community] 
spend attempting to lure "the masses"? My guess is, the "sweet spot" -- where a 
statistically significant group of people will consider Lilypond their "tool of 
choice", over FinSibEtc -- is far in excess of the community's capacity in the 
next 3-5 years.
