Well, my talk about OrchestralLily was exactly about creating Publisher-grade critical editions ;-) They are definitely possible in lilypond (+LaTeX for the prefatory matter and the critical report). On the other hand, each critical edition has its own requirements. I have found LilyPond fairly good for classical music and critical reports where the sources are clear, so only differences in the dynamics or maybe different orchestration (and some typos) need to be discussed. In this case, I simply insert larger images into latex, but don't have to mix text with music. For ancient music, where the notation is less than clear (like in Boris' cases), however, the situation is apparently quite different. Of course, there are still lots of shortcomings for classical editions, too, but they are no showstoppers, just annoyances (like not having footnotes to add a comment about a different orchestration, or a note referring to the critical report). The only two things that are holding me up still are -) The vertical reordering of figured bass figures with extenders (currently <6 5> <5 3> wrongly places the 3 above the extender). I'm still working on the patch, only some spacing issues are still holding me up... -) Cues to vocal voices do not contain lyrics, and it is practically impossible to add lyrics to the quotes at all using workarounds. > I'd appreciate anything you could do to clarify (for the -devel list and > for the bug tracker, not necessarily for the paper) the status of the > "vendor tree" relative to inclusion in LilyPond.

I suppose a starting point could be to look at the patches already uploaded to rietveld by Boris: http://codereview.appspot.com/user/Boris%20Shingarov > Then we'd at least know that > there is work to be done.

It might even be useful to use your own dev/shingarov branch (or dev/shingarov/* branches) in Lilypond's git...
