Hi Andrew,
This looks great to me- I like seeing Lilypond compared to several
other editions of the same piece at the end.
I just have one comment about the following:

Your benchmarking method currently takes the default output and compares it to
classic engravings. But this means you're considering things
like the "Patterson Beams" plugin in Finale a tweak; yet it is an
automated tool that takes two or three mouse-clicks and is a standard part
of the engraving process for any serious Finale user.
Also, I really think it would be helpful to additionally show fully
tweaked versions of both the Finale and Lilypond scores, to give an idea
of the techniques/time necessary to get optimal output in both pieces of
software. I think I can get a copyist to do this on the Finale
side if you're interested.
