Hi Kieren, yes, technically possible - no doubt!
I meant if it was possible to convince a (possibly major) publisher to accept and offer on their website a lilypond style file, so that from then on, also lilypond code would be officially accepted by them. I guess that would require disclosure of their style requirements (if such a thing exists in the form of a set of rules) on the publisher's side, and some state of stability between Lilypond releases (or, alternatively, such a style file would be valid for, say, the 2.14.x releases only). Maybe I shouldn't wonder so much but ask them first, and even include a cloned Schott score (which I would have to produce first ... or does anyone happen to have? ... ). I doubt I'll be able to produce a proper style file though - I'm too new at lilypond engraving, I have never myself dived into creating some tricky functions in a forest of brackets, and such. I'd love to work on it (and learn lots in the process) but someone with more experience would ceratinly need to be the mastermind.
