I have not tried it. However, it is the best. However, one must master its
markup language and hand edit everything. No WYSIWYG. There are some GUI
editors around but they simply highlight the markup for you.

There are several GUI notation programs around opensource. Or one could run
windows and lay out the bread for Sibelius.

The notation programs 'noteedit', and 'denemo' (in particular), will
export lilypond source.

'noteedit' is a more traditional, mouse selection, style of interface,
while 'denemo' is oriented toward computer keyboard (not midi though it
is supported, IIRC) input (keys a-g are used to create the notes on the
staff, for example). But both produce graphical representations of the
music being created/edited.

Generally, I prefer denemo, for reasons related to typing, but both do
work OK.

Wow! This task just keeps getting easier and easier!

Thanks, folks!

Go on over the kde-apps and check out the new boy on the block: musescore. It
still needs some work but it is quite a nice looking TeX front end for music
engraving. Lilypond is just to big a pain to use by a generation of WYSIWYG
dependents :-)

There is "denemo" too, a front-end for lilypond.
