The argument is mostly about automated engraving.  Customizability

You have contacts with Baerenreiter, that's very interesting!  I
understand that publishing houses never talk about the software they
use.  You would not happen to know the last time Baerenreiter tested
and dismissed LilyPond?  We're always interested in hearing about
problems they might have.
