Excellent!  Here are some resources:
- slideshow i used for a 5-min "flash talk" about music engraving.
It's in Polish, but i think images will give you some inspiration:

- some "lilypond vs something else" comparisons, intended to show that
typesetting really matters, and that LilyPond fares well here:

(in polish again, but if you like them, i'll do a quick-and-dirty
translation)
- tell them about crowd-engraving
(https://lilypondblog.wordpress.com/2013/06/04/crowd-engraving-whats-that-part-1/),
and show them the score displayed there.  It was created by people
with almost 0 experience in music engraving!  (of course, i had to
write a skeleton structure first, but that was a one-time job - If
you're interested, i can send you that skeleton).
- show them the attached score.  It contains very few overrides, and
they are very subtle anyway - even the 100% default output looks
excellent.

hth,
Janek
