>From 2013 does not sound like plate engraving.  Plate engraving has some
disadvantages (you need to make a lot of decisions early and then let
the engraving stick with it).  We are not really interested in mimicking
those things that are a downside of plate engraving, and of course there
is little sense in adapting techniques/styles for which we don't have
the algorithmic consequences under control.

But in general, we are more interested in the inspiration by state of
the art plate engraving rather than state of the art computer engraving,
since LilyPond wants to be a frontrunner in computer engraving.
