That are indeed nice LilyPond features. Before showing such a score, I
would, however, do some small changes:
- The labels should fit on the page (inside the margins -> indentation).
- The labels are too close to the staff lines.
[this could perhaps be done by default?]
- The tagline is a bit close to the scores in my opinion.
[it is sometimes useful to save vertical space, but here it is not
necessary]
What I wanted to say: When showing a LilyPond score in order to convince
somebody, it should be a really good example (proof-read by others, if
possible). This is particularly true for professionals like in this case.
Maybe it's useful to point out the out-of-the-box aspect?It that looks good I'd present the final version as pdf and say:
Hey, I only needed these few lines of adjustment.
Of course only if that actually _does_ make a good impression ...
