Hi Simon,

You forgot the quality of sheets: a (really) digital PDF will always look better than a scanned PDF.
I think it depends: firstly, many IMSLP scores are on a level of typographical quality which – I’m sorry – Lilypond might never reach.

+1000

Why do use LilyPond then?
Or: Doesn't your appreciation need a more specific context?
Like: LilyPond might never reach [that] level of typographical quality *without human tweaking*.
If you’re interested, have a close look at <http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.9_%28Mahler,_Gustav%29> (UE, 1912) or <http://imslp.org/wiki/File:PMLP106915-Mendelssohn_op.79_Sechs_Sprueche.pdf> and <http://imslp.org/wiki/3_Motets,_Op.69_%28Mendelssohn,_Felix%29> (Peters, perhaps around 1900?). Nothing the likes of this will ever be engraved by a machine.

Yours, Simon
