stylesheets, defaults, and other in-Pond-erables

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hello all,

I'm going full-bore on getting some of my scores re-engraved in the next month 
or so. (They tend to be cram-engraved under pressure for the premiere, and then 
never returned to due to the next commission on the docket…)

As a result, I'm hoping to break out a series of stylesheets (or stylesheet 
sets):
    instrument (e.g., violin) solo
    piano solo
    piano + vocal
    piano + solo instrument
    organ solo
    instrumental ensemble (e.g., piano quartet)
    chorus a cappella
    orchestra
    orchestra + chorus

I would love for the fruits of my labour to benefit the Lilypond community, in 
the sense that some of the overrides might become defaults, and the other files 
might be presented as a package of easily-included templates/files distributed 
with (or nearby) the application/binary/docs.

To that end, I'm hoping to get suggestions about particular scores in the above 
categories which the Lilypond community would consider benchmarks.
We used to claim to use Barenreiter as the benchmark, so I suppose that might 
be the place to start?
Any references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kieren.
