Yes - today he said he uses InDesign. When I asked about PDF vs EPS, he asked me to use PDF for graphics. He also sent me a style sheet. > I'd aim any delivery or tool to be in line with that.

Yeah - I have anything from a few measures to multiple pages of a score. I will have to mix in text with other symbols and graphics - perhaps overlaying the score snippets etc. Ideally, this would be a Pages multi-media document - so that they could actually PLAY the score or launch a video etc. So, I'm not entirely convinced I'm going to "publish" in the standard way as I've done with my music scores. If I self-publish, then I may just go with HTML5.
