That are indeed nice LilyPond features. Before showing such a score, I
would, however, do some small changes:
- The labels should fit on the page (inside the margins -> indentation).
- The labels are too close to the staff lines.
   [this could perhaps be done by default?]
- The tagline is a bit close to the scores in my opinion.
   [it is sometimes useful to save vertical space, but here it is not
   necessary]

What I wanted to say: When showing a LilyPond score in order to convince
somebody, it should be a really good example (proof-read by others, if
possible). This is particularly true for professionals like in this case.
Maybe it's useful to point out the out-of-the-box aspect?
For example I'd see what happens if I

 * enter the plain content
   (I'd consider the \partcombine discussion to be part of this)
 * Do any necessary improvements
 * Write down how many tweaks I had to do

It that looks good I'd present the final version as pdf and say: Hey, I only needed these few lines of adjustment.
Of course only if that actually _does_ make a good impression ...


Cheers,
Joram
