"50% grey" is not really good for reproduction (probably something
current publishers would consider rather an advantage), and of course,
it would not have been available with plate engraving.

One nice thing about LilyPond is that it is reasonably easy to provide
personalized scores from the same (possibly preexisting) source to
multiple recipients with individual needs.
