What "other tool"? Hand-engraving with metal punch ca. 1852-1952? Because
that’s the standard we’re measuring against by comparing to IMSLP.
No cross-platform computer application I know of — proprietary or open source —
has better output than Lilypond. In fact, even with just a basic stylesheet
applied to it, my musical theatre Piano/Conductor scores rival (and in most
cases surpass) what the big publishing houses (e.g., Warner-Chappell) put out
for sale.
This is one of the reasons I laud Urs’s attempt to get some of those houses to
use Lilypond: it would actually improve their current output!
Cheers,
Kieren.
