Maybe nothing, but never say never...

Possible advantages:

- you, as a typesetter, may be allowed to submit lilypond projects to them.
I don't know this market but I guess that a publishing company wants to own
the source files (they can understand and edit) and not just the PDF.
- if they use LilyPond they may be interested in sponsoring some features.
- if LilyPond was used by some of the major publishing companies, it would
get a better "status" and be accepted in music schools. If more students
learned using lilypond, they might contribute to Mutopia.
