Kieran-
I am finished with my latest opera "The Map" we're starting a
kickstarter proposal in January or Feb. The director and conductor are
on board, auditions probably in Sept '14.
8 singers, 8 instrumentalists, minimal spoken dialogue fully scored
out.
I did not use lily -book it was/is easier for me to adjust page numbers
per scene since there are always rewrites and scene changes (there have
been two so far).
I did set up a full score template and adjusted it per scene, this
turned out easier for me than to create a new one for each one. Since I
do not use bar lines when I compose it also allowed me to introduce time
signatures where they were needed in the top voice at all times.
The score is in c with accidentals in forget as when printing the parts
it will make it easier for me to understand the 'problems' with lily's
transpositions.
Doing this in probably not the prettiest code and in most likely
unfashionable way allows me the greater freedom to understand what was
going on while engraving.
Hope this helps a bit.

Hello all!
I would love to hear from anyone who has engraved a full opera or
musical (with at least vocal score plus full score) in Lilypond.
Specifically:
1. Is lilypond-book the only sane way to do it?
2. What functions/extensions/tricks did you use to bend Lily to your
will?
3. What pitfalls are to be watched for (and hopefully avoided)?
4. What limitations cannot [currently] be overcome?
Thanks,
Kieren.
