Having spent the time on the Stockhausen, I think it would be a shame not to 
update the page with the good example.  I agree it might be best accompanied 
with a short explanation that lilypond is designed to look good out of the 
box, but is also extensively tweakable.  Unfortunately, to write that on the 
German site needs someone who speaks decent German, which I don't.  Attached 
are a source version, without the font change for the time sig which crashes 
SVG creation, and the SVG output.
