If anyone here is well versed in LilyPond engraving and would be willing to lend a bit of their knowledge would you be so kind as to send me an email? (in my user profile)

I have been using Sibelius for a decade and am looking to port over much of my engraving work to an open source project. I have found a means of doing this but need help in establishing a nice template for a polished output.

Any help that an experienced LilyPond'er could offer would most enthusiastically appreciated!
