For Soundslice, we have an extensive internal test suite that tests for
regressions each time we improve the engraving engine. It takes screenshots
and compares them to the baseline (correct) versions. I wrote about the
infrastructure here:

I would be happy to make a freely available repository of MusicXML tests,
rendered with our engine. Sure, we're proprietary, but our rendering is
pretty solid and the only proprietary bit would be the rendering engine,
anyway -- not the screenshots or MusicXML files themselves.
