This is something I’m interested in as someone who potentially wants to HIRE a Lilypond assistant, as opposed to offering my own services! :) > Is it realistic to say there are always enough engravers at hand to accept > work?

My gut reaction (projecting from my own life, of course) is that many of us are composer-engravers who barely even have time to get our own scores done, or hobbyists who wouldn’t be appropriate for the job. The “sweet spot” of qualified engravers with time on their hands is probably pretty small. Thanks for asking the question!
