Hi Seth,

There are very few Big Guns like Jerry — period. Now that that's cleared up… :)

I cannot name the "big[gest] guns" who rely on Lilypond. However, I *can* say 
that I myself rely on Lilypond for every single music job I do which requires 
engraving: composer, arranger, music director, and teacher. This includes 
cranking out parts and scores "on the fly" for chamber operas, generating tests 
for my theory students on the subway, etc.

If you have any specific questions I can help you with, feel free to contact me 
(on- or off-line).

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
