I think that you are arguing with a straw man (to mangle a metaphor).
No one is saying that you can't suggest ideas from other software.  They
are just saying that you should suggest the idea explicitely and not
simply point to another software and tell people to learn all about it
and then duplicate it.  Sure, use another software as an example but
propose your idea first.

Go read your first posting pretending that you know nothing about
Sibelius or anything else except Lilypond.  Do you see how it carries
no information about your proposal in that case?
