"...It can run on any platform, no matter how old or exotic, has thousands of users and hundreds of contributors, and makes it possible to write simple scores (a couple of hours is all it takes to get started) as well as complex 500-pages pieces, mixing text, graphic elements, contemporary or medieval notations."
So what, you're telling me you've never compiled the famous Illustrated Boulez-Ockeghem Variations (648pp.) on your mobile phone? -- Wait a minute, I think I have an old quartz watch I can lend you so 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.)
