I'm sorry, but I have to throw in a number, just to add some different 
perspective.
If you'd happen to get lucky and get a contract to do an edition for 
Henle Urtext Edition (as a musicologist, not as a typographer), you'd 
have to prepare about 1.400 printed pages (i.e. about 2.5 times all 32 
Beethoven Sonatas).

It's the same misrelation as between artists/musicians and the other 
professions around :-(
