The problem arises, of course, when there are existing, conflicting,
standards.
There IS a standard out there, to which pretty much EVERY Brass Band
march part I've seen adheres to (probably B&H house style, as they are
the dominant publisher), that lilypond just does not produce by default.
Yet talk to an orchestral musician and I guess many of them would say
that the lilypond style feels "natural".
If you impose a single style, you are pretty much guaranteeing that
certain branches of music will stay away because the "house" style is
just totally "wrong".
At a minimum, you need different basic styles for different types of
music. Of course, if style sheets become a lilypond reality, that will
make life a lot better in that respect ...
