Just wondering how to achieve the best output with supporting programs when
working with Lilypond. I find Frescobaldi a huge leap forward in using
Lilypond. Frescobaldi increases productivity many times.
Are there any other programs I should be using to speed the notation process?
To speed up things some people prefer "more" others prefer "less".
The "less" method: Use a spartanic but superfast texteditor like vim/gvim
or emacs. Especially experienced editor users, often geeky programmers,
find this the fastest way
The "more" method: You already experienced the joy of using Frescobaldi.
Denemo is another GUI based program to create Lilypond scores.
Also you can use a GUI score editor like Finale, Sibelius, or, if you like
many of us prefer free Open Source software, use MuseScore. Then you can
export as MusicXML, and then import this in Frescobaldi (uses
musicxml2ly). I find MuseScore easier/faster for composing and arranging
music, but frescobaldi/lilypond easier/faster to create publishing quality
good looking scores.
