Maybe they haven't heard of LilyPond; why not try to convince them to
publish LilyPond source or PostScript scores?  It may tell you what
they're really after.

Hmm, on second thought, its a *real* smelly requirement.

    whois scorchmusic.com

Ah that figures, it's a promotional site for Sibelius.

Why would you want to do that?  If you have music in LilyPond source,
you can publish it at www.mutopiaproject.org.

Well, I give you little chance for getting support for proprietary
software in LilyPond.  But you can always export MIDI, and work from
that.
