Plus, they need need to be sure that when they try to edit that file in 3 
years that lilypond will still process it without any work and it should look 
exactly like before. That's also one of the current problems iwth lilypond: 
The syntax changes regularly, and you need to update your scores every few 
months to be able to run them properly.
