Hi Urs,
> What exactly do you mean by 'manuscript' and 'editorials'?
'Manuscript' is what Beethoven himself wrote, or (by huge consensus of multiple
editors across multiple engraving houses) is generally understood to have meant.
'Editorials' is what some specific editor (e.g., the Henle editor) added for a
specific edition: fingerings, courtesy accidentals, etc.
> Or style tweaks relevant to that concrete score?
> And editorials: editorial markings or styles for that score?
Editorial markings (e.g., fingering not added by Beethoven) and the like could
be put into a file like
Beethoven_Op10No3_Henle_Winter19751976_editorials.ily
Plate adjustments (e.g., the specific whiteout-ing and placement of the ff in
m.22), etc. — what you call "style tweaks relevant to that concrete score" —
could be put directly into the main output file:
Beethoven_Op10No3_Henle_Winter19751976.ly
\include Beethoven_Op10No3_Henle_Winter19751976_editorials.ily
or included separately still:
Beethoven_Op10No3_Henle_Winter19751976.ly
\include Beethoven_Op10No3_Henle_Winter19751976_tweaks.ily
\include Beethoven_Op10No3_Henle_Winter19751976_editorials.ily
> I'm strongly against mixing engraving and editing in your project.
+1
I'm trying to "completely" separate content from presentation (although I find
it extremely difficult to do well, given Lilypond's current toolkit — I know
you're working on improving that!).

Correct: the editing should happen only on the last step, after the "basic
Henle piano music house style" has been achieved through stylesheets.

It will no doubt become clearer as I finalize the file set — expect that
sometime later this week.
Best,
Kieren.
