Neither am I. I have tried Denemo and Noteedit and after learning abcm and now lilypond, I find that ascii music entry is much easier than gui. I heard a rumor that Igor (I am not sure of the exact name) is comeing out with a version for Linux??? But don't give up on Lilypond so quick. There are a few tricks that helped me get over the initial learning curve. 1. Read the documentation 2. Use templates. I have problems getting brackets to match until I started with a template. 3. Choose a text editor that makes note entry easier emacs or vim. 4. Read the Lilypond users group emails, they are great and it is a fantastic group full of extremely helpful and patient people!!!
