Well, again I couldn't view this in Evince but I could open it with Iceweasel, and it shows something interesting: in bar 13 the original has a cautionary accidental in parentheses. Denemo's MusicXML import ignores this field (yes! I've submitted a bug report for this) so I have inserted it manually, getting the attached typeset LilyPondBar13.png. The hand-written Sibelius output was particularly bad for this (see SibeliusHandGenerated.ly), while Sibelius's MusicXML import, like Denemo's, ignored the cautionary attribute when re-importing its own MusicXML (see SibeliusImportedFromMusicXML.png attached - this has been snipped from your file). Reading this mailing list gave me the impression that Sibelius was a required format for some publishing houses. How can this be? Do people go through every dotted rhythm adjusting the positions of the dots by hand? I just the really terrible ones? Every tie?
