I use jEdit (www.jedit.org) with the LilyPond plugin (www.sf.net/projects/lily4jedit). That's all. The best that I don't have to leave jEdit and can do anything :-) If I were you I compared it to an Emacs-based workflow :-)
- I click on the "document wizard" button and set up my staves with lyrics if needed, key signature, time signature, partial measure and so on correctly, in 10 seconds. - I write the score, using the autocompletion feature. I save it to see if I forgot to close a block or misspelled some command (but latter can rarely happen due to the autocompletion). - If I have lyrics, I type them in and have the plugin hyphenate it correctly. - I press F7 to have it processed, then press F9 to see the DVI file. I click on the bad notes, to get back to the erroneous place. Sometimes I have errors in the errorlist (usually for bar check errors), so click on them to get to the erroneus place. - If I want to override something I hardly know what property to set, I type \override and using the autocompletion and the popup property-help I choose the appropriate property. - If I need to find something in the help I usually click on the LilyPond help button, choose full-text search and look for it. - To see a PS version of the score I go into the Plugin/LilyPond menu and click on View PS. - If I want to listen to the midi file I click on the Midi button in the LilyPond toolbar.
