 Howdy!

         I am starting to investigate how Ties and Slurs should look
according to the
statement on lilypond.org that lilypond

         "creates beautiful sheet music following the best traditions of
classical music engraving."

       I was looking at a couple of engravings, Ralph Kirkpatrick's
Shirmer Goldberg and
the OpenGoldberg....

        the more engraving's I look at, computer generated or not, the
more I realize
how good LilyPond is... So where is an example of good historical
engraving that
is diverse enough in its content so as to be representative of that model
that
LilyPond seeks to emulate?
