Agreed.

I have been using Lilypond for over a decade now. I have never used it to 
"compose" (only engrave), and only *once* have I used the MIDI output for 
listening. However, I feel I will likely be needing this functionality in the 
near future, and would be very interested in seeing good documentation on how 
to get (or improve) high-quality audio output from Lilypond.

Thanks,
Kieren.
