Hello, I've started to typeset Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major (KV 488). I plan to typeset at least the piano part for all three movements, and probably all parts, too.
Correspondingly, I have a few questions. First: should I submit incremental pull requests as I finish pieces of the work (e.g., "completed piano for first movement"), or should I wait until I have completed the entire score? In particular, should I create a pull request right now that simply sets up the opus directory with a blank score? Second: my reference is a scan of an edition published in 1879 in Leipzig by Breitkopf & Härtel and obtained from [IMSLP][1]. The IMSLP entry indicates that the copyright is in the public domain: it lists five editors for the work, and claims that each died before 1917. Is there anything else that I should check regarding the copyright status of this score? [1]: https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/25720 For reference, the PDF version of the score in question has the following SHA-256 hash: dd642c79649d00758dfa65c3dbc605d940edb1d14b2f53312282acb7a8a0fe9a Third: the Allegro movement includes a cadenza, which is not notated in the score but which seems to have a standard form among modern performers: for instance: [Pollini][2], [Trifonov][3], and [Uchida][4] all play almost exactly the same version. Should I transcribe and typeset this cadenza? (I would like to, if possible!)

Please note that I plan to force-push to this branch.

I've used LilyPond before and am comfortable with it, but I'm certainly no expert, and I welcome suggestions. Thanks!
