If I should be asked to engrave a big score (as fast as possible) in a

realistic to say that we could (at any time) provide a team of 10 quailfied
engravers working full time on a project? Or 15-20 working half time?
And what if it were a request for continuous work? Is it realistic to say
there are always enough engravers at hand to accept work?
Considering the public responses there seems to be quite a few people
qualified and able. We'll see if you get 20 responses. The liedboek
team did sometime similar. They may have good insights.
I feel that one aspect that makes publishers hesitate to consider LilyPond
is exactly this question: They know that there will always be a sufficient
number of available and qualified Finale and Sibelius users, and presumably
even Score users, but they don't have an idea about this with LilyPond.
Any opinions or estimates?
Sounds like a great idea. I'd be very willing, though I most likely
wouldn't be able to work full time.
