Frescobaldi is quite good, so it would be my first recommendation
unless a new user already has a favorite test editor.
Connecting point-and-click to your favorite text editor is not fun.

A is done automatically by Acrobat Reader; SumatraPDF does if you add
'textedit' to the LinkProtocols in a .ini file described in the docs
B is stored in the Windows registry. The LilyPond installer installs
a Scheme script, but I could never get it to work so I wrote my own
(and have to re-install it after every upgrade of LilyPond)
C is done by converting the textedit fields to the command for your
editor. Instead of LilyPond's Scheme, I use a DOS script:
@echo off
rem This is file D:\bin\textedit.cmd
rem Registry entry HLKM\Software\classes\textedit\shell\open\command
rem contains "D:\bin\textedit.cmd" "%1"
FOR /F "tokens=1,2* delims=:/" %%a IN (%1) DO set address=%%c& \
set drive=%%b
FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=:" %%a IN ("%address%") DO \
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Vim\vim74\gvim" --remote-silent +%%b %drive%:/%%a \
& "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Vim\vim74\gvim" --remote-send "%%d|"
