It seems to me that one of the things this conversation is tending towards
is a sort of "best practices style guide" for large-project collaboration
(or just for how to structure large projects in general for the most
efficient editing). What might a guide like that involve? What guidelines
are there that become relevant with large projects?

I know with my current project, there's not much I can do, but I really
would like to see some guides like this. Two guides would be helpful for
me, actually: how to structure the files, write scripts to automate what's
efficient to automate, etc etc..; and second, the sort of end-stage
fine-tuning that would be necessary for a finished score to look optimal.

Or maybe I'm missing something? Do guides like that already exist?

Cheers,

A
