Let’s be clear that there are two different areas of “standards” to be 
discussed: the input (Lilypond source code) and the output (engraved score).

As you noted, when our current stylesheet project comes to fruition, it will be 
possible to output any “house style” you want, including the “B&H Brass Band 
Style”.

That doesn’t in any meaningful way affect our decisions regarding standards for 
the Lilypond source code, if we want to develop and promote them.

Cheers,
Kieren.
