Oh, for sure. I have a choral octavo stylesheet which makes my choral scores
look better than most published scores *before I even apply a single tweak*. I
was just comforting my composer friend who is struggling [in Finale] to get his
string quartet parts looking nice enough to publish; I showed him how Lilypond
make my parts look amazing in just a few minutes per part (~ 1 minute to
compile, and then usually only a couple of tweaks required), and he nearly wept.

It’s a never-ending curve… but that’s part of what makes it so enjoyable for
me! =)
All the best,
Kieren.
