Except when you are ordering orchestral scores for Monteverdi's Vespers,
use Renaissance tuning that is usually a minor third off, play partly
with historical instruments, practice with modern instruments and would
like to have the choir scores transposed to be on pitch.

A good Lilypond source will require very little touchup work for pulling
out the (expensive) custom order.
