The smaller and/or younger the house, the more likely they’ll accept PDFs — they simply “pass them through” for reprinting and selling. That being said, if I started a publishing house today, I wouldn’t accept 99% of the PDFs I see from *any* application, Lilypond included: they’re just not up to my standards. > - if they use LilyPond they may be interested in sponsoring some features. +1 > - if LilyPond was used by some of the major publishing companies, it would > get a better "status" and be accepted in music schools. +1 > If more students learned using lilypond, they might contribute to Mutopia. As mentioned before, this effect is of little interest to me… but if it helps the larger ‘Pond, I’m all for it!
