Urs Liska built some impressive infrastructure to support the engraving of, and collaboration on, large scores. This was used for an edition of Oskar Fried's Das Trunkne Lied. To our great loss, Urs appears to have withdrawn from active Lilypond collaboration, but a description of his work appears on the wayback machine [1], the code for the tools is still at GitHub [2][3], and Andrew Bernard has kindly taken on the custodianship [4].
