Re: promoting LilyPond

[flup2]

Although it might look strange, I think that "fair comparison" depends of the
intended use. For advanced users, of course, a finely tuned score of each
software would give better idea of "possible end result". But, for a lot of
users who don't need (or want or know how) those refinements and the
"standard output" (out of the box, without manual tweaking) will be
important.

Regarding the feeling of people about the quality of their tool, it's
simple: most people don't think that their Word layout is crappy. The same
can occur with musical scores, except that even less people know musical
typography. So, a lot of people won't think or feel "my score is bad" if
they don't know which way they could loot better. Some situation will show
LilyPond better, other will show Finale or Sibelius.

An (really) adventurous image about that could be Plato's Allegory of the
Cave.
