Greetings Urs and All, Please allow me to somewhat echo Valentin's sentiments. Having produced scores as a composer for a variety of forces, I find that performance scores for piano, four hands are particularly difficult to realize. Typesetting is fairly straightforward, but aligning corresponding parts across facing pages can be a nightmare! I interpret "large" to include the element of time consumption, and the process of matching corresponding parts by trial and error is a time killer indeed! I am currently preparing for publication the score of my Twenty-Five Preludes for Piano, Four Hands; it is just over 160 pages of music, excluding prefatory material, and the task is surely daunting! Nevertheless, I would never abandon LilyPond, the project which has contributed so much toward my own livelihood. I only regret that I must use extralilypond programs on occasion - such as pdftk - in order to put together scores for piano, four hands.
