I don't have a scanner, sorry. For crowded piano music with all bells
and whistles have a look into Beethoven's late piano sonatas, for
example op. 106, op. 111, etc.

Will try to do that.

Hmm, most of the time I'm working offline. It is a lot of work to do
that, and I'm not sure whether I have enough time to do that. What I
will try is to upload .ly and .pdf files to a certain directory which
you could monitor.

OK. For reference, here my list of severe bugs, reported in the last
few days:
. Harmonic note headers are too small. In the current CVS, the shape
is OK.
. Ledger lines are not symmetric if accidentals are present.
[Additionally, the positioning of accidentals is bad, but this is a
minor issue currently. I'll file a bug report later.]
. Ottava bassa octavation lines are missing vertical padding to note
heads. Since dynamic marks have the same problem recently if they
are located below a staff I believe that you've introduced a bug in
the last few days.
. Rehearsal marks in the first bar of a staff must be positioned right
to the clef, not at the beginning of the line.
. Ties don't get enough horizontal space in tight lines.
. Ties in chords which contain seconds have incorrect horizontal start
and end points.
