Personally, I think that you should have a contemporary example in there. There are enough standard things that any professional engraving application _should_ be able to do, e.g. feathered beaming, box notation, x-shaped noteheads, changing the number of staff lines mid-staff etc. etc. etc. Certainly there are different choices that engravers could make in these areas to create a different look. I would contend that there enough things to make a competition between engravers in this area as well.
