Oh yeah? And when did you last see a set of orchestral parts that  
looked "professional"? Some of them are even photocopies of (badly)  
handwritten manuscripts!

Isn't that why Han-Wen started writing Lilypond in the first place?

That said, anything to increase the profile of Open Software and  
increase the quality of music publishing has to be good, so good luck  
to you. I don't think existing publishers will agree with me though :)
