Hmmm. It can be dangerous asking about random software they have never
heard of (obviously they have staff who can use Sibelius or Finale; they
surely don't have staff who can use Lilypond) but what I'm curious about
is why they won't accept merely a PDF.
Do they have any word on that?

Bear in mind that one thing they may get from Finale/Sibelius is
_playback_, potentially using very high-quality sampled sounds. But I
agree it's most likely stupidity rather than need.
I would want to ask them why they need the Finale/Sibelius files at all
and why the PDF copies they also ask for will not suffice.
