So what, you're telling me you've never compiled the famous
Illustrated Boulez-Ockeghem Variations (648pp.) on your mobile phone?

you can install LilyPond on it. Or can my microwave oven do the trick?

(That being said, Phil's "biggest single score" question is indeed
interesting: since every large LilyPond score I've seen so far are
split into several \score{}s, that undoubtedly makes them quite easier
to compile than a single 500-pages chunk.)
