This thread has been a real eye-opener for me — I’m just now really learning 
about OverLeaf, VSLilyPond, etc.

It’s even more clear to me now: If we could put together a turnkey installation 
package of OverLeaf + Lilypond + lyLuaLaTeX, and was able to provide a 
"code-free" GUI for collaboratively editing (even up to a "certain level" of 
sophistication), we’d have as "killer" an app as the music engraving industry 
can have right now. I personally know a half-dozen music schools, and at least 
one [small] publisher, where I could get such a thing installed a few days 
after it was stable.

Thanks!
Kieren.
