[publishing] Comparison of music typesetting programs

The newsgroup rec.music.theory has a thread about comparing music
typesetting programs. They set the same one-page guitar score in all
the programs. They started with 6 commercial programs, and
got subsequent contributions of one more commercial program and
lilypond. The links to the pdf’s are:

• Original
  6 programs
• 
  Mozart
• lilypond 2.4.5

  Update: the source for this lilypond
  implementation was subsequently posted to the lilypond list and links
  to
  couple of improved versions were posted:

  • 2.4.5 with
    better titling fonts.

  • 2.6
  • 2.7.5
    prerelease, with spacing bugfix by Han-Wen

The discussion is at google
groups link.
