I have explicit permission from the author of "Eja, Mater" Finale
engraving for using it in this comparison.  As for the other
materials, they are short fragments and "fair use" (or
"critical/scholarly purposes") laws should apply.

Who said that i want to make these comparisons part of LilyPond
itself?  I'm talking about creating a library of resources related to
lilypond, but they don't have to be in the lilypond itself.

This is just impossible with comparisons like these ones - the
finale/sibelius engravings cannot be old enough to be in public
domain.
