I beg to differ. What does "acceptable musically" imply - a musician with 
suitable expertise can interpret a printed-out score the way it is intended by 
the composer? That was even true for many (very crude, by modern standards) 
attempts at digital typesetting for music 30 years ago (I remember). My feeling 
is that most readers of this list are more ambitious then that.

The "stacking" problems are even more pronounced in other parts of the 
composition and this is particularly vexing as lilypond really creates 
something beautiful (with no extra effort but with no small amount of 
admiration on my part) for the rest of the piece. However, with the four extra 
lines I mentioned, life is good again.

Warm regards,
 Stefan
